Enable your application to detect and protect against threats targeting your production systems, and to manage risks in your code and its open source dependencies, using the Datadog library for your application language. You can detect vulnerabilities and threats for apps hosted on a server, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS ECS, and (for supported languages) AWS Fargate.
In general, setting up Application Security Management (ASM) involves:
- Identifying services that are vulnerable or are under attack, which would most benefit from ASM. Find them on the Security tab of your Service Catalog.
- Updating to the latest Datadog library (the most recent APM tracing library).
- Enabling the library to collect the application security data from the services and send it to Datadog.
- Triggering security signals in your application and seeing how Datadog displays the resulting information.
Prerequisites
Select your application language for details on how to do these steps for your language and infrastructure types.
