Datadog Launches Cloud Security Platform to Provide Security Teams with Unprecedented Observability CapabilitiesNEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today announced the launch of the Datadog Cloud Security Platform, adding full-stack security context to Datadog's deep observability capabilities. This new offering enables organizations to use a single platform to correlate security insights with monitoring data across infrastructure, network and application tiers, providing Security teams with the visibility they need to understand and respond to potential threats faster. In recent years, security attacks have increasingly focused on the application level, prompting DevOps and Security teams to work more closely together to "shift left" and infuse security into the full software development life cycle. Traditionally, this has been difficult because of siloed tools and processes, which has been further exacerbated as organizations move to the cloud and security teams are left with even less visibility. Datadog's Cloud Security Platform addresses these challenges by enabling DevOps and Security teams to access a shared source of truth supported by a common data model. With Datadog, in parallel to detecting potential threats, Security leaders now have access to the underlying infrastructure, network and application data at the time of an attack, meaning they have deeper insights that enable more accurate threat detection and accelerated incident response. And, unlike point solutions, Datadog's platform approach ensures that this data is automatically correlated and presented in context, without requiring manual analysis. "As organizations embark on their digital transformation journey, unifying once disparate security, compliance and engineering practices has become a key requirement to deliver best-in-class customer experiences," said Amit Agarwal, Chief Product Officer, Datadog. "Built for cloud scale, the Datadog Cloud Security Platform supports organizations in adopting a modern DevSecOps practice that will enable a more holistic and, ultimately, a more robust approach to security, without increasing the operational burden of deploying and maintaining multiple, disconnected point solutions." "With Lemonade's growth, cloud security has become a primary focus," said Jonathan Jaffe, Chief Information Security Officer, Lemonade. "Within the first week of an easy integration, Datadog's security offerings helped my team manage potential threats faster, with less effort, and with higher fidelity nd accuracy. What's more, collaboration with our DevOps colleagues became easier and has helped tie security to the business. We have many security tools and services; Datadog Cloud Security Platform has become one of our top-three tools. We see it supporting our current and future growth with security, and in lockstep with DevOps." Forrester's State of Application Security report notes that "Applications remain a top cause of external breaches, and the prevalence of open source, API, and containers only adds complexity to the security team. Happily, organizations have started to recognize the importance of application security and are embedding security more tightly into the development phase."1 The Datadog Cloud Security Platform includes:
