Datadog provides out-of-the-box (OOTB) detection rules to flag attacker techniques and potential misconfigurations so you can immediately take steps to remediate. Datadog continuously develops new default rules, which are automatically imported into your account, your Application Security Management library, and the Agent, depending on your configuration.

Beta detection rules

Datadog’s Security Research team continually adds new OOTB security detection rules. While the aim is to deliver high quality detections with the release of integrations or other new features, the performance of the detection at scale often needs to be observed before making the rule generally available. This gives Datadog’s Security Research the time to either refine or deprecate detection opportunities that do not meet our standards.

Click the following buttons to filter the detection rules. Security detection rules are available for Application Security Management, Cloud SIEM (log detection and signal correlation), CSM Misconfigurations (cloud and infrastructure), CSM Threats, and CSM Identity Risks.
