Challenge	Soldo, a leading spend management platform in Europe, offers organizations a simple, automated way to delegate, control, and track expenses for employees and departments. It helps finance teams manage budgets with real-time visibility over company-wide spending. To accomplish this, Soldo requires maximum uptime and performance of its software so customers can access it from anywhere and at any time. Its platform is built on a complex cloud-native technology stack, running in AWS and leveraging a Kubernetes-based architecture. Soldo also uses open-source code and adheres to agile and secure delivery practices to drive continuous innovation and align with strict financial services industry regulations. However, given the speed at which its dynamic cloud environment changes, and the prevalence of open-source code in its applications, Soldo needed to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities in its production environment, to keep its customers’ data and transactions secure. Achieving this was previously a challenge, as the company’s software testing practices and tools were mainly focused on pre-production. Each time its development and security teams discovered new zero-day vulnerabilities, they had to search for them manually. Read More

Solution	Soldo was already using Dynatrace to optimize the performance of its digital services and deliver seamless user experiences. After evaluating the runtime security solutions on the market, it identified that extending its use of Dynatrace by activating its Application Security Module would provide the best solution for its requirements, due to the efficiency of its unified platform approach. With Dynatrace Application Security, Soldo’s teams can continuously and automatically identify and prioritize software vulnerabilities across the entire software delivery lifecycle, including at runtime, to deliver more secure digital interactions. Dynatrace provides Soldo with a real-time, automatically prioritized view of all potentially impacted applications and data in its ecosystem. This enables its teams to easily see where the vulnerability exists, understand its risk impact and severity in the context of their environment, and tier their remediation efforts accordingly. Davis, the AI engine at the core of the Dynatrace platform, initiates remediation workflows to resolve vulnerabilities automatically, enabling Soldo’s teams to reduce the time it takes to respond to new zero-day vulnerabilities from days to minutes.
