Threats & Exploits in Dynatrace

Detect and block runtime attacks, then triage detection findings.

1. What is Threats & Exploits for? #

Detect and block runtime attacks, then triage detection findings.

The principle #

Threats & Exploits centralizes security detection findings. Much of it comes from Runtime Application Protection (RAP), which spots SQL, JNDI and command injections and SSRF inside the application, and can block them.

Threats & Exploits : Request → RAP → Finding → Triage

Step by step #

  1. Enable Application protection and choose, per technology, monitor or block.

  3. Open Threats & Exploits and triage findings.
  4. Fix the vulnerable code pointed to by the code location.
