Using an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Environment for Security Insights

Using an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Environment for Security Insights from OWASP 2023 Global AppSec DC

An Application Performance Monitoring (APM) environment can be used to gain security insights by collecting and analyzing data on application performance and behavior. By monitoring factors such as user activity, network traffic, and system resources, anomalies or potential security threats can be identified and addressed in real-time. APM tools can also provide visibility into application dependencies and potential attack vectors, enabling proactive security measures to be implemented. Overall, leveraging an APM environment for security insights can improve an organization's ability to detect and respond to security incidents, and ultimately enhance its overall security posture.
