News Summary:
- New Cisco Secure Application solution simplifies vulnerability
management and defends applications against slowdowns and
exploits.
- Only solution bringing security insights that prevent and fix
breaches together with business and application performance
monitoring.
- By correlating security and application insights, Application
and Security teams gain shared context that break down silos for
optimal collaboration.
AppDynamics, a part of Cisco and the world’s #1 APM solution and
full-stack, business-centric observability platform, today
announced Cisco Secure Application, the industry’s first solution
to drastically simplify vulnerability management, defend against
attacks and protect applications - from the inside-out.
Co-innovated with the Cisco Security business, the world’s largest
enterprise security company, this new solution correlates security
and application insights through a single solution. Built natively
into the AppDynamics platform, users benefit from reduced alert
fatigue, real time threat detection, and automatic breach
prevention. The result is businesses’ confidence in application
performance without the fear of significant damage to brand
reputation and customer trust.
Organizations are increasingly reliant on applications to engage
with and deliver services to customers, which leads to huge volumes
of personal user data being housed within the application. As a
result, organizations face increased vulnerability to cyber threats
and security incidents. This challenge is further exacerbated as
they continue to support more employees working from home who are
using laptops and devices connected to the public internet. This is
testing the limits of monitoring practices and vastly expanding the
IT perimeter, creating new weaknesses and vulnerabilities in even
the most secure IT estates. Failure to have the right processes and
solutions in place to safeguard data housed in applications not
only puts brand reputation and consumer trust at risk, but could
also cost organizations millions of dollars in the event of a
breach.
With applications now running anywhere from on-premise to
multi-cloud and cloud-native microservices, combined with
accelerated innovation, the need for an application-led approach to
security is paramount. This critical shift will enable
technologists to identify vulnerabilities within the application
during production, correlate vulnerabilities and breaches with
business impact, and bring together Application and Security teams
to facilitate speedy remediation.
With Secure Application, IT teams will no longer sacrifice
security for velocity. Secure Application is the only solution that
uniquely brings together business performance and security insights
with zero friction to protect brands against slowdowns and
exploits.
“A slow or underperforming application can significantly impact
the user experience, but when an application’s security is breached
and exploited, it can be life altering for the end user. Companies
simply cannot afford to ignore the risk,” said Jeetu Patel, senior
vice president and general manager, security and applications,
Cisco. “Secure Application is the first of its kind to deliver this
level of security insight that empowers both Application and
Security teams to safeguard customer and organization assets while
delivering a best-in-class digital experience.”
With Secure Application, enterprise IT teams will have access
to:
- Automatic runtime protection: Visibility into an
application's true behavior to easily detect attacks, identify
deviations, and block attacks automatically.
- Simplified vulnerability management: Access at the code
level to detect dependency and configuration level security
vulnerabilities in production.
- Security insights informed by business impact: Security
details correlated with the application topology to apply business
relevance to security events and helps teams focus on the incidents
that matter most.
- Collaboration between Application and Security teams:
Shared context for Application and Security teams for optimal
collaboration, improved security posture, and healthy digital
business.
"Enterprise IT Organizations are often considering how to
transform and align their security, application development,
operations tools, processes, and teams,” said Stephen Elliot, IDC
program vice president, DevOps and I&O team. “Application
vulnerability management is one of the key capabilities where
transformation can be accomplished, while delivering substantial
business benefits."
