“Zero trust principles require a layered defense that is more effective when rooted in observability,” Hicks wrote in an article published on Carahsoft.com.
“Zero trust and observability technologies work together to create a more secure and resilient network environment by assuming that all requests for access are untrusted and continuously monitoring the network to detect and respond to potential threats,” he added.
Hicks discussed how AI-based platforms like Dynatrace could help agencies quickly identify the root cause of a problem with an application and troubleshoot the app.
“As a platform designed to optimize application performance, Dynatrace unifies data from various sources — observability, business and security data — with continually updated mapping of relationships among these data points, providing valuable data context,” he wrote.
He also mentioned that the platform could provide agencies access to a large database of vulnerabilities, enabling such organizations to prioritize remediation efforts.
