Sumo Logic Unveils New Innovations To Align And Fuel Devsecops

MITRE ATT&CK Threat Coverage Explorer is a new feature within Sumo Logic’s Cloud SIEM solution that helps security teams analyze its threat coverage across the organization and continuously improve its security posture. (Graphic: Business Wire)SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA Conference – Sumo Logic, the leading SaaS Log Analytics Platform, today announced new AI and security analytics capabilities that allow security and development teams to align around a single source of truth and collect and act on data insights more quickly. These advancements, bolstered by Sumo Logic’s free data ingest licensing, empower customers to use their critical security data to close security gaps and better fuel DevSecOps. These innovations will be on display this week at booth #6271 at RSA Conference 2024.A recent Cloud Security Alliance survey found that only 30% of respondents believe they have good collaboration between security and development teams. At the root of the problem, security teams get signals of potential threats but often need developers or operations teams to help diagnose, assess and resolve. DevSecOps practices can help solve these challenges, which require a single source of truth, contextual data, cross-team collaboration, and AI and automation to power faster decision-making.“Many organizations are still working to adopt a ‘shift-left’ strategy to evolve to a true DevSecOps approach that breaks silos and enables teams to solve the hardest operational and security challenges faster
