Datadog Security

Overview

Bring speed and scale to your production security operations. Datadog Security delivers real-time threat detection, and continuous configuration audits across applications, hosts, containers, and cloud infrastructure. Coupled with the greater Datadog observability platform, Datadog Security brings unprecedented integration between security and operations aligned to your organizations shared goals.

Datadog Security includes Application Security Management, Cloud SIEM, and Cloud Security Management. To learn more, check out the 30-second Product Guided Tour.

Application Security Management

Application Security Management (ASM) provides observability into application-level attacks that aim to exploit code-level vulnerabilities, such as Server-Side-Request-Forgery (SSRF), SQL injection, Log4Shell, and Reflected Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS). ASM leverages Datadog APM, the Datadog Agent, and in-app detection rules to detect threats in your application environment. Check out the product Guided Tour to see more.

Cloud SIEM

Cloud SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) detects real-time threats to your application and infrastructure, like a targeted attack, an IP communicating with your systems which matches a threat intel list, or an insecure configuration. Cloud SIEM is powered by Datadog Log Management. With these areas combined, you can automate remediation of threats detected by Datadog Cloud SIEM to speed up your threat-response workflow. Check out the dedicated Guided Tour to see more.

Cloud Security Management

Cloud Security Management (CSM) delivers real-time threat detection and continuous configuration audits across your entire cloud infrastructure, all in a unified view for seamless collaboration and faster remediation. Powered by observability data, security teams can determine the impact of a threat by tracing the full attack flow and identify the resource owner where a vulnerability was triggered.

CSM includes Threats, Misconfigurations, Identity Risks, and Vulnerabilities. To learn more, check out the dedicated Guided Tour.
