Summary

Dynatrace's product security team employs Snyk and Dynatrace's Runtime Vulnerability Analysis (RVA) to enhance software security by identifying vulnerabilities during development and runtime. They have integrated Snyk with Dynatrace to streamline the process of creating actionable Jira tickets for engineers, reducing duplicate alerts and improving efficiency. This integration tackles the challenge of overlapping findings from static and dynamic scans, which often leads to alert fatigue among engineers. By correlating vulnerabilities detected by Snyk's static scans and Dynatrace's dynamic RVA, the team effectively prioritizes and remediates vulnerabilities, minimizing alerts while maximizing impact. This approach enables the team to leverage unique strengths from both platforms, with Snyk providing detailed insights at the repository level and Dynatrace offering contextualized runtime risk assessments. The initiative also highlights the versatility of the Dynatrace platform, emphasizing its capacity for precise runtime insights and its potential for further breaking down silos in modern software environments.
