Modern cloud operations rely on observability platforms like Dynatrace to detect incidents and maintain service reliability. But while infrastructure and data may be protected, monitoring configurations themselves are often not recoverable.

With ControlMonkey, teams can now extend Cloud Disaster Recovery to Dynatrace configuration backup – ensuring dashboards, alerts, monitors, and metrics can be restored instantly in case of incidents, misconfigurations, or ransomware.

Introducing Dynatrace Configuration Backup & Recovery

ControlMonkey now protects critical Dynatrace configurations as part of its Cloud Disaster Recovery platform.

Key capabilities include:

• Automated backup of Dynatrace dashboards, metrics, monitors, and alerts
• Versioned snapshots of monitoring configurations
• Rapid recovery of observability environments after incidents
• Resilience Score across monitoring platforms
• Unified disaster recovery method across cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools

How Dynatrace Disaster Recovery Works

ControlMonkey continuously protects Dynatrace configuration so teams can restore their monitoring environment to a known-good state when incidents occur.

Discover Dynatrace configurations

ControlMonkey connects to Dynatrace using secure APIs and automatically discovers configuration assets including dashboards, monitors, alerts, and metrics.

Snapshot and Backup

On a continuous basis, ControlMonkey captures the exact configuration state of Dynatrace resources and creates versioned snapshots of those configurations.

Recover 

If dashboards, monitors, or alerts are deleted or misconfigured, teams can quickly restore them from a good known snapshot – recovering observability environments in minutes.

Review & Govern

The ControlMonkey Cloud Resilience Dashboard provides visibility into DR readiness across cloud infrastructure and SaaS tools, helping teams identify gaps before incidents occur.

Stay Ahead with Dynatrace Disaster Recovery

As a CTO, I’m proud to introduce this capability. In my previous roles, having the ability to quickly recover from mistakes and investigate configuration changes would have saved days of troubleshooting and manual work

Ori Yemini

CTO

Observability platforms are critical for detecting and resolving incidents. If monitoring configurations are lost during an outage or attack, recovery becomes significantly harder.

ControlMonkey ensures Dynatrace configurations are protected alongside infrastructure and SaaS platforms. By continuously backing up configuration states and enabling rapid restoration, teams can maintain operational visibility even during critical incidents.

This extends disaster recovery beyond data and infrastructure – ensuring the monitoring systems themselves are resilient.

Microsoft Entra ID configurations are too critical to leave not backup or unversioned. With ControlMonkey’s new Entra ID support, your identity layer now receives structured backup, visibility, and recovery coverage – just like your data and cloud infrastructure.

Why Backup and Govern Your Entra ID?

Entra ID defines who can access production systems, cloud resources, and business applications. Yet many identity changes still happen manually – without versioning, drift visibility, or rollback capabilities.

Backing up and governing Entra ID ensures:

• Configuration Cyber Resilience – Recover users, roles, groups, and policies after mistakes or incidents.
• Change Visibility – Track and review identity configuration changes over time.
• Drift Detection – Identify manual changes that bypass Infrastructure as Code.
• Audit Readiness and guardrails  – Have a clear RTO/RPO number for your Idindy layer.  Apply the same compliance guardrails across identity and infrastructure.

Introducing Support for Cyber Resilience

ControlMonkey now supports Microsoft Entra ID backup and recovery.
With this release, teams gain:

• Entra ID Visibility Inventory – Full visibility into users configuration, groups, roles polices, enterprise applications, and policies.
• IaC Blind Spot Detection – See which Entra ID resources are IaC-managed and which are not.
• Daily Entra ID Backup Snapshots – Automated configuration backups.
• Disaster Recovery Time Machine – Restore Entra ID to a previous known-good state 
• Import to IaC – Bring unmanaged identity resources under IaC control.
  

Daily configuration versioning allows teams to investigate access history, recover from misconfigurations, and ensure compliance without manual reconstruction.

Identity Resilience Meets Cloud Governance

See how ControlMonkey reduces risk and brings cyber resilience  daily backup to Entra ID. Turn your identity configuration into code – and your code into control.

Azure teams often rely on Bicep alongside Terraform for managing their infrastructure with code, and without unified visibility, recovery gaps go unnoticed until it’s too late.

ControlMonkey now supports Azure Bicep as part of its IaC coverage model, extending visibility and disaster recovery awareness to Azure-native infrastructure.

This capability is available to all ControlMonkey customers starting today.

Key benefits Azure Bicep Backup & Visibility:

• Full visibility into Azure resources managed by Bicep
• Clear separation between codified and non-codified infrastructure
• Improved disaster recovery readiness for Azure-native stacks
• Reduced blind spots during ransomware or cyber incidents
• IaC visibility and recovery coverage across Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep

Cloud Infrastructure with Full IaC Visibility

Codified infrastructure can be restored after configuration loss or compromise. Unmanaged resources lack a reliable recovery path.

By including Azure Bicep in its IaC coverage, ControlMonkey helps teams:

• Understand recovery readiness across Azure environments
• Identify hidden DR risks caused by non-codified resources
• Strengthen cloud governance without forcing tool migrations
• Plan incident response with confidence during cyber or ransomware event.

This helps teams understand recovery readiness in environments that use multiple IaC frameworks.

With customers like Rapyd, Coralogix, and ReasonLabs already benefiting from compliance visibility, ControlMonkey is raising the bar for proactive cloud governance.

For teams managing their Terraform, OpenTofu, or Terragrunt environments, compliance is often a moving target. The new Cloud Compliance Dashboard in ControlMonkey delivers a unified, drill-down view into your compliance posture across AWS, Azure, and GCP helping you identify gaps before they turn into risks.

Introducing Cloud Compliance Dashboarding

The Compliance Dashboard gives DevOps and Cloud managers the ability to select relevant standards, track consolidated scores, and drill down into failed controls and resources.

Supported frameworks include:

• CIS Benchmarks (2.0, 2.1, 3.0)
• PCI DSS 4.0
• HIPAA Security Rule
• MITRE ATT&CK
• ENS_RD2022 (Spanish National Security Framework)
• DORA Regulation
• And more – Full List below

Teams can move from high-level compliance scores down to specific failed checks, pinpoint which resources triggered non-compliance (for example, an exposed EC2 instance), and shift compliance from reactive audits to proactive prevention.

Stay Ahead with Cloud Governance and Infrastructure Control

The dashboard provides decision-makers with measurable clarity. I Teams can continuously check compliance instead of just reacting to audit findings. They can enforce IaC policies on a large scale and strengthen infrastructure pipelines. This means:

• Improved visibility into your compliance score
• Reduced risk with drill-down checks at the resource level
• IaC alignment through proactive enforcement
• Scalable governance across multi-cloud environments

“When teams gain full visibility and proactive compliance controls, they stop reacting to problems and start preventing them. That’s how you consistently raise your compliance score.” said Ori Yemini, CTO, ControlMonkey

Customer Perspectives

2 of Control monkey customers already enjoying full IaC coverage visibility:

More IaC coverage means fewer security issues — period. What stood out with ControlMonkey was how easy it became to do things the right, modern way. When infrastructure and security teams can finally collaborate by design, that’s when security actually works

Unauthorized console operations, aka “ClickOps,” are one of the major causes of Terraform Drifts that lead to costly production misconfigurations. It also bypasses the golden path of deploying infrastructure with a clear SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle)process.
Tracking infrastructure changes, ensuring cloud vs code integrity, and avoiding configuration drifts is an ongoing battle.
Today, we’re happy to bring our ClickOps scanner feature to Azure, giving cloud teams total real-time visibility into every infrastructure change made from the Azure console.

ClickOps Scanner for Azure

In large-scale cloud environments, every change made through the Azure console can potentially cause drifts, misconfigurations, or security risks.
Azure users now have a single source of truth for every change happening across their infrastructure.

ControlMonkey’s ClickOps Scanner for Azure is a simplified insights dashboard where users can easily understand:

• How many Console Operations (ClickOps) have been made on an Azure subscription at a given timeframe
• How many Other Operations (IaC) have been made on an Azure subscription at a given timeframe
• The breakdown of the operations by User
• The breakdown of the operation by Resource
• The complete audit of all cloud events with detailed information for quick investigation

With ClickOps Scanner for Azure, ControlMonkey users can now:

• Monitor every change in real-time across Azure subscriptions, whether intentional or unexpected.
• Resolve Terraform Drifts faster by quickly detecting the Cloud Event (ClickOps) that caused the configuration drift and shorten investigation and resolution times.
• Ensure compliance and security by keeping a complete audit trail of all infrastructure changes made through code or the console.
• Speed up debugging and root cause analysis. Quickly trace changes back to their source and understand the impact of every action.
