Learning from Log4j: The role of observability in keeping government applications secure
This Dynatrace white paper analyzes the Log4Shell vulnerability and how unified observability and security can defend government systems. Log4j's widespread use, ease of exploitation, and lack of visibility made it a top cyber threat. Dynatrace addresses these challenges by offering AI-powered, real-time vulnerability detection, automated remediation, and full-stack observability across hybrid environments. It enables agencies to identify, assess, and mitigate risks quickly, even in complex infrastructures. The report also recommends SBOM use, layered defenses, and comprehensive communication for stronger cybersecurity resilience.
