Summary

The text discusses the challenges faced by security analysts in combating increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, highlighting the use of generative AI by both attackers and defenders to enhance their strategies. It emphasizes the importance of threat-hunting techniques based on Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), particularly through the use of Dynatrace Security Analytics and Grail. The approach integrates logs, metrics, traces, and threat alerts for a comprehensive view of attacks, allowing analysts to detect and block threats in real time and map attack components to MITRE ATT&CK techniques. A demonstration using the insecure cloud-native demo application "Unguard" illustrates how Dynatrace, combined with Falco and falcosidekick, can identify multi-step attacks and visualize MITRE techniques to prioritize monitoring and communication of business risks. The text underscores the value of context-rich analytics and observability data in threat hunting, facilitating the rapid identification of complex attack chains through Dynatrace's advanced querying capabilities.
