Dynatrace Introduces Security Gates, Bringing Automation and Intelligence to DevSecOps
Dynatrace, a software intelligence company, has introduced security gates within its platform to enhance DevSecOps workflows. This feature enables teams to automatically assess the security of new software releases, ensuring secure code flows through the delivery pipeline. According to IDC, a significant number of development teams sometimes skip vulnerability scans, highlighting the need for this innovation. The platform's AI and automation capabilities allow for real-time detection and management of vulnerabilities, facilitating faster, more secure software releases.

Instant, automated, and fully contextualized vulnerability assessments enable organizations to release software faster without sacrificing security
According to IDC, “The primary drivers for adopting DevSecOps are to improve the overall application security posture by identifying security issues earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), without impacting the velocity of DevOps teams."1 The importance of unifying observability, automation, intelligence, and security within development processes is underscored by additional research, which reveals more than a quarter of CISOs say development teams sometimes bypass vulnerability scans to speed up software delivery.
The Dynatrace® platform enables teams to precisely identify vulnerabilities found in cloud-native workloads and applications across the SDLC, while also prioritizing these vulnerabilities based on the risk they pose to the business. In addition, the AI and automation capabilities at the core of the platform help orchestrate application development processes at scale, including automating code tests and quality checks against an organization’s SLOs. With this latest enhancement, customers can now leverage Dynatrace’s automation and intelligence, along with the extensive observability data that is already flowing through the platform, to automatically detect, assess, and manage vulnerabilities in real time, and with greater accuracy than traditional security tests that operate on static code.
“As organizations accelerate their pace of innovation with cloud-native technologies, they are increasingly integrating security into software development workflows,” said
