Dynatrace announced it is enhancing its platform with new Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) capabilities for observability-driven security, configuration, and compliance monitoring. This announcement follows the rapid integration of Runecast technology into the Dynatrace® platform following the company?s successful acquisition earlier this year. The new KSPM offering builds on Dynatrace?s existing security protection capabilities, including Runtime Vulnerability Analytics (RVA) and Runtime Application Protection (RAP), strengthening cloud-native application protection in the Dynatrace platform.

These combined capabilities provide DevSecOps, security, platform engineering, and SRE teams, who are all responsible for ensuring the security of Kubernetes environments, with an innovative solution for security posture and compliance. Dynatrace?s new KSPM solution, combined with the platform?s existing RVA and RAP capabilities, enables teams to instantly detect risks in their Kubernetes deployments and automatically prioritize remediation based on risk exposure. To achieve this at scale, Dynatrace uses Davis® hypermodal AI, which combines predictive and causal AI techniques for precise answers and automation and generative AI for increased productivity.

As a result, teams can gain comprehensive insights into cloud-native applications across code, libraries, language runtime, and container infrastructure. This helps them strengthen the security posture of their Kubernetes deployments, while also complying with regulatory frameworks and industry best practices, including those defined by the Center for Internet Security (CIS). Dynatrace Kubernetes Security Posture Management is expected to be generally available in the second half of 2024.
