Dynatrace, a leader in unified observability and security, has announced the enhancement of its platform with new Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) capabilities for observability-driven protection, configuration and compliance monitoring.
The announcement comes after the rapid integration of Runecast technology into the Dynatrace platform following the company’s successful acquisition earlier this year.
The new Kubernetes Security Posture Management offering builds on Dynatrace’s existing security hardening capabilities, including Runtime Vulnerability Analytics (RVA) and Runtime Application Protection (RAP), strengthening the security of cloud-native applications on the Dynatrace platform.
These combined capabilities provide DevSecOps, security, platform engineering and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams, who are responsible for ensuring the protection of Kubernetes environments, with an innovative solution for security posture and compliance.
“As workloads become more dynamic, integrating KSPM into the deployment lifecycle is essential for securing Kubernetes environments and adhering to best practices and standards,” said KellyAnn Fitzpatrick, Senior Analyst at RedMonk.
“Through a combination of real-time vulnerability assessments and contextual protection insights, Dynatrace’s new KSPM solution aims to empower teams to proactively address risks and gain complete visibility into their security posture, compliance status and attack vectors. Such solutions can enable teams to accelerate their Digital Transformation with confidence, knowing that their cloud-native environment is protected.”
Dynatrace’s Kubernetes Security Posture management is expected to be available in the second half of 2024.
