Relational Databases are the bedrock of any FinTech application, especially for OLTP (Online transaction Processing). This foundational component in any application architecture usually poses challenges around scaling as the business expands rapidly. So, it is imperative that all database activities are monitored closely in the production environment and issues like long-running queries are tracked and resolved.

As organizations scale to modern multicloud environments, they’re met with increased complexity that makes managing security far more difficult. Vulnerabilities can enter the software development lifecycle (SDLC) at any stage and can have significant impact if left undetected. As a result, organizations are implementing security analytics to manage risk and improve DevSecOps efficiency.

And yet, more often than not, OEMs don’t consider their underlying tech stack technologies until they are way too deep into said crisis.
