Dynatrace has embedded Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) directly into its Kubernetes app, unifying vulnerability findings (runtime CVEs), detection findings (active threats), and misconfiguration findings (CIS benchmark deviations) into a single contextual view. KSPM is now enabled by default during cluster onboarding, with the Dynatrace Operator automatically deploying the Node Configuration Collector (NCC). Developers and SREs can investigate security issues in the same workflow as performance monitoring, jump directly into the Security Posture Management app pre-filtered to specific findings, and receive plain-language remediation guidance. Upcoming additions include Kubernetes Security Essentials, a lightweight KSPM profile supporting managed distributions like GKE, OpenShift, K3s, and MicroK8s that don't support full node-level benchmark profiles.
