AppEngine is used to create and share custom apps that use insights from observability, security, and business data.[3]

Dynatrace detects, analyzes, and helps remediate vulnerabilities and attacks in real time. Dynatrace detects third-party and code-level vulnerabilities across all cloud application layers. Dynatrace AI automatically reprioritizes risks based on real-time events, service impact, and observability context. Runtime security is embedded directly into application observability.[1][5]

For protection during attacks, Dynatrace monitors the flow of data through the application, from the user to the database, to determine malicious activity. Quality gates automatically validate that no new critical vulnerabilities were deployed. Workflows automate the creation, assignment, and resolution of vulnerability tickets. Dynatrace application security offers built-in mappings to standards like CIS, NIST, and DORA.[5]

Dynatrace also lists threat protection, automated response, and forensics among its platform capabilities.[1]
