New Relic Announces General Availability of Vulnerability Management

New Relic (NYSE: NEWR), the all-in-one observability platform for every engineer, announced the general availability of New Relic Vulnerability Management to provide customers with security monitoring, helping engineering teams identify and triage vulnerabilities across their tech stack, all in one place, now available for purchase until the end of January at a promotional rate. This includes new Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) capabilities, added to New Relic with the acquisition of K2 Cyber Security, that enable teams to perform vulnerability testing without having to make any code changes or interrupting normal business operations. Vulnerability Management is available out of the box and available without additional configuration.

Vulnerability Management is a natural addition to New Relic’s existing 30+ observability capabilities and aligns with its vision of eliminating data, tool, and team silos. The solution integrates New Relic’s native vulnerability signals and third party security signals into its purpose-built Telemetry Data Platform to monitor and manage all enterprise telemetry data in one place. Development, security, and operations teams can now use one connected experience to manage application security issues and avoid switching between siloed tools. All of this is available as part of New Relic’s industry leading simple and transparent consumption pricing with a promotional offer to democratize observability and security for all engineers.

Today, DevOps teams work separately from security organizations, using different assessment tools and siloed data that can result in an incomplete picture of the vulnerability surface area of the software stack. This leaves many organizations struggling to protect their applications at the source code and runtime level. For example, security teams are still dealing with a critical flaw in the popular open-source logging tool Log4j more than a year after it was announced – of which 30% of instances remained vulnerable to exploitation. These types of vulnerabilities are challenging to locate and identify in the stack and can be so widespread that they can impact mission-critical software through unknown external dependencies. Vulnerability Management solves for this by providing visibility into an organization’s entire tech stack so they can identify vulnerabilities and protect their applications at every stage of the software development lifecycle.
