Summary

Log auditing and forensics are crucial for securing cloud-native applications and infrastructure, yet the complexity of such environments necessitates a new approach that integrates observability and security data. This convergence provides security teams with comprehensive visibility into application security issues, allowing for real-time detection and response to threats. As organizations increasingly adopt cloud-native technologies, they face challenges such as managing the large volumes of log data generated, understanding distributed topologies, and addressing skills gaps. These challenges can hinder effective security incident response. Platforms like Dynatrace Grail offer solutions by combining observability with security data, enabling efficient log analysis and enhancing DevSecOps strategies. By automating workflows and providing a unified platform for data governance, Dynatrace Grail helps organizations manage the complexities of cloud environments, allowing them to conduct thorough investigations, detect vulnerabilities, and prevent future attacks more effectively.
