Summary

The Biden administration's "Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity" addresses the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, exemplified by incidents like the Colonial Pipeline and SolarWinds attacks, emphasizing the need for improved federal cybersecurity measures. The order outlines directives such as modernizing cybersecurity systems, implementing zero-trust architecture, and fostering public-private sector partnerships to enhance cybersecurity. Dynatrace supports these initiatives by offering its Software Intelligence platform, which provides comprehensive observability across applications, infrastructure, and user experiences, helping federal agencies detect and respond to threats more effectively. The platform's capabilities align with the order's goals by facilitating zero-trust principles, such as least privilege enforcement and network segmentation, and by partnering with the private sector to address security challenges in modern cloud-native architectures. Dynatrace is committed to collaborating with federal agencies to bolster their cybersecurity posture and ensure robust protection of national digital assets.
