Dynatrace announced its intent to pursue FedRAMP High authorization and expanded government security standards.
This effort is part of Dynatrace’s broader public sector strategy, building on its established FedRAMP Moderate-Impact Authorization. This strategic direction reflects Dynatrace’s commitment to supporting US federal agencies, state and local government agencies, defense and intelligence organizations, commercial customers working with federal agencies, and global public sector customers operating in environments that require elevated levels of security and compliance.
Since achieving FedRAMP Moderate authorization in 2020 and subsequently expanding that authorization to include Dynatrace Application Security under NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, Dynatrace has supported public sector organizations with compliance-ready observability and security solutions. As federal agencies accelerate modernization initiatives, hybrid cloud transformation, and AI adoption, Dynatrace is committed to building its platform to operate across higher security baselines, reinforcing Dynatrace’s plans to pursue FedRAMP High authorization.
Dynatrace plans to pursue FedRAMP High authorization to support agencies with more advanced security requirements. The company is engaging with customers and partners to align future platform capabilities with evolving federal and public sector needs. Dynatrace’s unified observability platform and Grail® data lakehouse architecture are designed to support highly regulated environments, with a roadmap to align future capabilities with FedRAMP High, Department of Defense (DoD), and other evolving government security and compliance requirements.
“Federal agencies have been running mission-critical workloads on Dynatrace since our FedRAMP Moderate authorization in 2020 – that’s the foundation this announcement builds from,” said Steve Tack, CPO of Dynatrace. “We’re engineering the Dynatrace architecture to specifically support federal and public sector environments, bringing precise answers, intelligent automation, and resilient operations to the most critical missions in government.”
Dynatrace’s government portfolio is designed around customer and partner-managed deployment within agency-defined operational boundaries, ensuring data sovereignty and control across all classification levels.
“Agencies planning multi-year modernization programs need to know their observability platform can evolve with them, from FedRAMP Moderate toward higher security baselines, without requiring rearchitecting or switching vendors,” said Willie Hicks, Global Public Sector CTO at Dynatrace. “That’s what we’re building toward: a single platform that meets agencies where they are today and scales with them as their mission security requirements evolve.”
Dynatrace engages with public sector organizations through its established partner ecosystem and direct collaboration channels.

For fifteen years, observability lived downstream of everything else. Code shipped, something broke, an engineer went to the dashboards. The job was forensic. The pillars we built, such as logs, metrics, and traces, were designed for that role: tell a human what just happened, fast enough that they can make it stop. That role has quietly ended ...
Hybrid IT has become the standard operating model for enterprises — but that companies are still looking for the right hybrid IT mix, according to the 2026 State of the Data Center Report from CoreSite. After years of cloud migration and hybrid adoption, organizations are shifting their focus from deciding whether to use cloud, colocation or on-premises infrastructure to determining which workloads belong in each environment ...
Pilots are everywhere, stakeholders are seeking results, businesses are pushing for new tools, and IT teams are being asked to make AI secure, reliable, and useful at scale. But as organizations move from testing AI to operationalizing it, many are discovering that the biggest barrier is not the model, the use case, or even the budget. It is the file data foundation within ...
Fast or cheap? For most of my career in engineering, speed and quality sat on opposite ends of a seesaw. The "OR" in "fast or cheap" was non-negotiable. It was expected that pushing for faster releases meant that something in quality would give way. Tightening quality controls meant the schedule slipped. Every engineering leader I know has lived some version of that tradeoff ... The seesaw is starting to level out ...

The rapid growth of AI workloads is pushing traditional log management approaches to their limits, according to The State of Log Management 2026 report from Dynatrace. Modern logs have become critical to understanding, validating, and securing AI-driven decisions, helping organizations ensure reliability, compliance, and performance at scale. However, the volume and complexity of AI telemetry are overwhelming legacy tools ...
For years, secure connectivity has relied on a familiar pattern: route traffic back to centralized gateways, inspect it, and then allow access. This model worked when applications lived in a handful of data centers and users were largely confined to offices. That model is now under strain. Applications are distributed across clouds, users connect from everywhere, and real-time workloads demand performance that centralized inspection points struggle to deliver. As traffic volumes grow and latency expectations shrink, routing everything through a small number of control points has become both a performance bottleneck and a resilience risk. The future of secure connectivity requires a different approach ...

Cloud outages are usually described as technical failures. When a service goes down, a dependency breaks, or a region has issues, the focus immediately shifts to infrastructure. But if you look closely at how these incidents actually unfold, the root cause is rarely the technology itself. It is almost always tied to decisions made earlier, during design, implementation, or day-to-day operations. The system behaves the way it was built. The real question is how it was built ...
