Across all industries, IT departments are moving from traditional application monitoring approaches towards full-stack observability. Rapid adoption of cloud native technologies has led to spiraling complexity and exposed the limitations of the Application Performance Management (APM) tools being deployed by IT teams.

Cisco's Secure Application is now available as an independent application on the Cisco Observability Platform and can be deployed with or without Cisco Cloud Observability. This announcement increases the flexibility offered to IT professionals and allows in house security teams to harness powerful security capabilities without committing to cloud native application performance monitoring.
