Summary

The complexity of modern multicloud environments has increased the necessity for integrated observability and security analytics to proactively prevent threats, as traditional security measures have not evolved to match cloud-native and microservices architectures. This results in heightened vulnerability and challenges in vulnerability management, as highlighted by a survey where 70% of chief information security officers reported increased difficulty due to complex software supply chains. At the 2024 Dynatrace Perform conference, experts Gerhard Byrne and Susan St. Clair emphasized a proactive approach to threat detection, showcasing how the Dynatrace platform enhances security data with observability insights to expedite incident resolution. They introduced the Dynatrace Security Investigator app, which facilitates faster and more informed threat investigations by maintaining context and adapting to evolving hypotheses through a dynamic query tree, thus freeing security teams from manual documentation processes. This approach is designed to help teams efficiently track and understand user activity and threat origins, with the platform's capabilities enabling detailed documentation and collaboration to improve security response.
