Dynatrace Acquisition Boosts Cloud-Native Security Capabilities

Dynatrace's acquisition of Smartsheet's security capabilities is a game-changer for cloud-native security.

Dynatrace's acquisition of Smartsheet's security capabilities is a game-changer for cloud-native security. This move will help organizations better protect their cloud applications and data from security threats.

The acquisition brings Dynatrace's OneAgent technology, which provides real-time security monitoring and threat detection, together with Smartsheet's security capabilities. This will enable organizations to detect and respond to security threats in real-time.

With this acquisition, Dynatrace is now a leader in cloud-native security, providing a comprehensive solution for organizations to secure their cloud applications and data.

Dynatrace has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Rookout, a provider of enterprise-ready and privacy-aware solutions for code debugging in Kubernetes-hosted cloud-native applications.

The addition of Rookout to the Dynatrace platform will help developers accelerate innovation and delivery of flawless and secure releases.

Developers are increasingly responsible for ensuring the quality and security of code throughout the lifecycle, but traditional tools only allow debugging in pre-production environments.

This can disrupt users, slow down performance, or crash the application altogether, which is why Dynatrace is acquiring Rookout to provide developers with increased code-level observability into production environments.

The acquisition will also improve collaboration across development, IT, and security teams by empowering them with a single platform for observability and security analytics and automation.

Dynatrace plans to provide a seamless experience for customers by embedding Rookout into its unified observability and security platform.

The proposed transaction is expected to close later in the second quarter of 2023, and it will not have a material impact on Dynatrace's fiscal year 2024 financials.
