Organizations are accelerating code releases to remain competitive, but these rapid cycles exacerbate runtime vulnerability management challenges, especially within cloud-native environments. The complexity of multicloud architectures, which include containers and microservices, makes it difficult for cybersecurity tools to effectively monitor vulnerabilities, as highlighted by the Dynatrace 2022 CISO Report, where 69% of surveyed CISOs noted increased difficulty in vulnerability management. The Log4Shell vulnerability underscored these risks, with many CISOs acknowledging a lack of real-time visibility and confidence in resolving such issues. Automation and artificial intelligence are seen as essential to improving vulnerability management, with 79% of CISOs advocating for continuous runtime vulnerability management. Despite a move towards DevSecOps practices, only a small percentage of organizations have fully integrated security across their software development lifecycle, although DevSecOps adoption is reportedly increasing. These practices promise to enhance both the speed and reliability of code deployment, as organizations strive to fill existing security gaps and manage vulnerabilities more effectively.
