Dynatrace has announced the findings of an independent global survey of 1,300 chief information security officers (CISOs), including 100 in Australia, in large-size organisations.
The Report, Observability and Security Must Converge to Enable Effective Vulnerability Management, reveals that the speed and complexity created by using multicloud environments, multiple coding languages, and open source software libraries are making vulnerability management more difficult. 76% of Australian CISOs say that despite having a multi-layered security posture, persistent coverage gaps allow vulnerabilities into production.
This highlights the growing need for observability and security to converge, paving the way toward AISecDevOps practices. This will empower organisations with a more effective way of managing vulnerabilities at runtime, and the ability to detect and block attacks in real time.
Findings from the Australian data include:
- 58% of CISOs say vulnerability management has become more difficult as the need to accelerate digital transformation has increased.
- More than three-quarters (78%) of CISOs say that…
