Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
The Dynatrace SaaS SLA for Monthly Uptime Percentage is 99.5% for all customers. Customers who subscribe to Enterprise Success & Support have an enhanced SLA for Monthly Uptime Percentage of 99.95%.

Dynatrace will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Dynatrace SaaS environment available in accordance with the Monthly Uptime Percentage defined in the link below. In the event Dynatrace does not meet the Service Commitment, you may be eligible to receive a Service Credit, to be applied as described here: https://www.dynatrace.com/company/trust-center/sla/saas/
Approach to resilience
Dynatrace uses a clustered architecture. Each cluster uses multiple data centers (AWS availability zones, Azure availability zones, or Google Zones) for redundancy within the same geographical region and over-provisions required resources. If a server fails, another server in the same or a different data center can take over, while the fail-over process recreates the failed instance. Data is replicated to other data centers, too. The architecture even allows for the failure of an entire data center. Fail-over is handled automatically.
Health monitoring: Health of Dynatrace SaaS systems is constantly monitored with Dynatrace itself (self-monitoring). Fail-over is handled automatically. In case of a severe problem, a DevOps with 24/7 availability is notified.
In case an entire AWS region/Azure region/GCP zone or multiple clusters within a region go down, clusters can be restored from backups.
Outage reporting
Dynatrace communicates outages by a combination of email alerts to the affected customers and posting the outage to the Dynatrace community where affected users can track the resolution of the issue (https://dynatrace.status.io/).
The information provided includes service impacted, site location, start and end times, current status, description of service outage and customer impact.

Once the problem has been resolved the Senior Director or Vice President responsible for the service issues a "reason for outage" report that is emailed to those customers affected by the outage.

The Security Policy goes through a formal and documented review, approval, and formal change process annually. After the review, the revision page is updated to reflect any updates or changes. The changes are then communicated to all employees through an email message and during Security Awareness training. Dynatrace LLC also updates the Security Policy as needed throughout the year. New employees must go through an onboarding program, which also includes the annual security awareness training.

Vulnerability management type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Critical bugs and security vulnerabilities are triaged by senior support engineers (if reported by a customer) and the effected senior software engineers, managed by the development management and the chief software architects. Once the root cause is identified, it gets fixed in the current developed release and back ported to all effected versions. Test and test plans are adopted to prevent a regression in future.

A detailed description of how Dynatrace does this is available on request.
Protective monitoring type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach

Suspicious login activities like a high number of failed logins are monitored utilising Dynatrace Self-Monitoring functionality and trigger automated alerts.
Production logs of level SEVERE and WARNING are monitored and reviewed daily. Jira tickets are created for every log event warranting further investigation.
Jira tickets are created and assigned immediately to engineers for further security investigations.

Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Dynatrace has an incident response process that can result in rapid containment and resolution of security incidents. The process includes a 24/7 rapid response team where our SaaS ACE team, CISO, and DevOps teams are engaged from the outset to rapidly assess the scope of the incident, contain the incident, mitigate the effects of the incident, and resolve the incident. The process includes customer communication throughout the process.
Security incidents need to be filed via a support ticket. Response times on the support ticket are dependent on the type of support a customer chooses: https://www.dynatrace.com/services-support/dynatrace-one/
