Summary

Dynatrace has enhanced its Application Security module with real-time attack protection, leveraging code-level insights and transaction analysis to detect and block attacks without configuration, achieving a perfect OWASP benchmark score for injection attacks with 100% accuracy and zero false positives. This development addresses the limitations of traditional security measures like Static Application Security Testing (SAST) and web application firewalls (WAFs), which often struggle with dynamic environments and generate significant configuration overhead and false positives. Unlike existing Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) solutions, which can introduce performance issues and deployment challenges, Dynatrace's platform uses OneAgent technology for automatic deployments with minimal overhead, offering real-time identification and blocking of attacks such as Log4Shell. This advancement allows organizations to secure their applications effectively as they continue to innovate using cloud-native technologies, without relying on vulnerability databases. Dynatrace's real-time protection for Java applications will be available in 120 days, with further enhancements planned to broaden its detection capabilities.
