Threat Stack announced Threat Stack Application Security Monitoring, its new unified application security solution.

Threat Stack Application Security Monitoring will now be included as part of the Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform at no additional cost.

With the addition of runtime application self protection and risk detection capabilities to the Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform, Threat Stack provides full stack security observability from the cloud management console to the application layer.

The addition of Threat Stack Application Security Monitoring to the Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform will help customers connect the dots with contextualized information from every aspect of the cloud stack throughout the entire software development lifecycle. By correlating information from the cloud management console, containers, container orchestration, and application layers, Threat Stack customers can quickly and accurately identify risk and ongoing attacks across their cloud environment.

Features available in Threat Stack Application Security Monitoring include:

- Proactive Risk Reduction - Leveraging insight and contextual information across the cloud stack, Threat Stack helps developers proactively reduce risk during development.

- Targeted Real-time Attack Blocking - Threat Stack enables users to selectively block attacks like Cross Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection (SQLi), and NoSQL Injection (NoSQLi) without the risk of blocking large amounts of legitimate traffic.

- Improved Insight Across the Stack - With full context from every aspect of the cloud stack, Threat Stack connects the dots and correlates data across the entire software development lifecycle to reduce false positives.

- Developer Context and eLearning - Threat Stack provides in-depth context and risk reduction recommendations on every alert, helping developers learn best practices for secure coding on an ongoing basis.

“With the rapid adoption of cloud-native architectures - including microservices, containers, and serverless - application security is more important than ever,” said Brian M. Ahern, CEO, Threat Stack. “While there are many application security options available, the addition of Threat Stack Application Security Monitoring makes Threat Stack the first to enable cloud security observability across the full stack and full lifecycle in a single solution.”
