Dynatrace, the "Software Intelligence Company", has expanded its application security module for more cloud security. It now detects and protects against vulnerabilities in runtime environments including Java Virtual Machine (JVM), Node.js and .NET CLR.
Dynatrace now also supports applications based on the programming language Go. Its adoption has increased by 23 percent over the past year, making it one of the fastest growing programming languages.
Real-time visibility and vulnerability analysis
With these enhancements, the Dynatrace Platform is currently the only solution that offers real-time visibility and vulnerability analysis across the entire application stack. This includes custom code, open-source and third-party libraries, as well as language runtimes, container runtimes, and container orchestrators.
Dynatrace not only automatically detects vulnerabilities in each of these layers, but also analyzes them to provide actionable and accurate recommendations immediately. This not only enables development and security teams to better assess risks, prioritize and remediate threats more effectively, but also drive innovation faster and more securely.
Extended application stacks
Language runtimes are an important layer of the application stack. They ensure that applications are available on any platform and run smoothly without having to be rewritten or compiled. By extending the Application Security Module to support runtimes in the most popular programming languages, Dynatrace provides the industry's most comprehensive application vulnerability assessment. It covers all potential points of attack in pre-production and production environments.
“The number of entry points for attacks on applications is constantly increasing. Vulnerabilities can creep in from any part of the software supply chain, including open-source or third-party components and application runtimes,” said Steve Tack, SVP of Product Management at Dynatrace. "Traditional approaches are unable to accurately identify runtime vulnerabilities or analyze their potential vulnerability and impact."
