In the context of advanced threat detection and response, this blog post discusses the importance of automated, multi-layered defense systems over manual analysis for handling security incidents. It highlights the use of runbooks for coordinating tools and processes during security breaches and emphasizes the necessity of integrating automation into these workflows for effective incident detection and response. The post introduces Dynatrace Automations as a solution for creating custom runbooks tailored to specific business risks, and demonstrates a comprehensive approach to combat security threats using honeytokens and eBPF-based detection. The process involves deploying policies in a Kubernetes cluster, integrating Tetragon for eBPF-based monitoring, and automating the response to incidents by tracking and blocking attackers' IP addresses. The blog also covers the use of Kyverno for policy management, the Dynatrace Query Language (DQL) for querying logs, and the creation of pull requests and security tickets for ongoing incident management. The overall aim is to showcase how Dynatrace's platform can streamline security operations by automating responses and providing context-specific insights, thus enhancing protection in cloud-native environments.
