Security Analytics leverages the connection to Dynatrace's Davis AI platform to detect threats, process information and respond to incidents in real time
THE Dynatrace, one of the leading companies in unified observability and security, announces the launch of Security Analytics, a new Dynatrace platform solution designed to help enterprises better defend against threats to their hybrid and multicloud ecosystems. O Dynatrace Security Analytics leverages the connection to the Davis AI platform, which combines predictive and causal AI techniques, to provide security professionals with the exact answers and data context they need to prioritize and investigate threats and vulnerabilities. At the end of this year, the Security Analytics will also include Generative Artificial Intelligence capabilities as part of Dynatrace's planned expansion to provide a hypermodal technology offering through Davis technology.
In addition, the Security Analytics take advantage of Dynatrace Automation Engineand to create automations and workflows that can be used to assess the impact of an attack, find indicators of compromise (IOCs), or automatically trigger a response. Davis' combination of hypermodal AI delivers accurate responses with context and intelligent automation so security analysts can proactively defend against emerging cyber threats. It also strengthens companies' cyber defense and overall security posture.
Security analysts often lose productivity due to disjointed tools and processes that require considerable human intervention. This approach can result in alerts going uninvestigated for months or even years, posing significant risks to your companies. Many teams rely on traditional security information and event management, or security information solutions (SIEM), which monitor log data to find indicators of compromise. This data lacks crucial context, such as the underlying cloud infrastructure and application topology, which can help narrow the scope of a scan. The lack of this context makes it difficult to use information security solutions to accelerate an investigation or identify and defend against cyber threats.
According to Allie Mellen, senior analyst at Forrester Research, “Security information and event management capabilities alone are no longer enough for these operations teams. Today’s security analytics platforms combine capabilities to enable analysis, investigation, automation, threat hunting, dashboards, and reporting to help security analysts be more effective.”
O Dynatrace Security Analytics it meets these needs through responses and the automation it offers with logs, metrics, traces, and topology, while keeping the context of the data intact. This allows teams to identify and investigate threats that may be impossible to identify from logs alone. Additionally, the new solution adds to Dynatrace's other application security capabilities, including:
– Runtime vulnerability analysis, which provides real-time detection and prioritization of vulnerabilities that have escaped into production environments.
– Runtime application protection, which detects and blocks common application attacks such as SQL injection, command injection, and JNDI attacks.
Dynatrace was recently ranked as a leader in the use of security operations with a score of 4.6/5 in the report Gartner Critical Capabilities for APM and Observability Report 2023, which the company believes reflects the impact and value to customers using its platform's application security features.
For Steve Tack, senior vice president of product management at Dynatrace, in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations face an unprecedented risk of cyberattacks that can wreak havoc on their operations and customer trust. As Dynatrace Security Analytics, analysts can quickly investigate and verify what happened and leverage observability and context-wide security data to analyze and take proactive steps to strengthen defenses. “Combining these new analytics with our platform’s other application security capabilities enables our customers to successfully deliver digital transformation with confidence that their hybrid and multicloud environments are well protected,” he says.
Dynatrace Security Analytics is now available to customers. For more information, visit the Dynatrace website – https://www.dynatrace.com/.
