The new Cisco Secure Application solution defends applications against slowdowns and exploits through real-time threat detection and automatic breach prevention built natively into the AppDynamics platform.
“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,” Cisco wrote in a post.
The new solution offers simplified vulnerability management with access at the code level as well as automatic runtime protection for visibility into an application’s true behavior to detect attacks.
