Automate Security Response with Datadog Workflow Automation

Responding to threats often requires time-consuming, multi-step actions across multiple tools, slowing down investigations and increasing risk. Learn how security teams can automate a wide range of workflows, from everyday tasks to complex, multi-step investigations, so they can streamline response and reduce manual effort across tools and environments. In this demo, see how Datadog’s integrated SOAR, powered by Workflow Automation, helps you build, test, and manage automated security playbooks with confidence.

Aikido + Secureframe: Keeping compliance data fresh

TL;DR: Aikido now integrates with Secureframe. Vulnerability data syncs automatically so SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 evidence stays accurate. 16 tests and 5 controls handled for you. Secureframe makes it easier to run SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS programs. But compliance tools only work if the data inside them is accurate. Too often, teams end up exporting CSVs, uploading reports, or sharing screenshots that are already outdated by the time an auditor looks at them.

The AppSec Bottleneck: Why Fixing Can't Wait

Vulnerability detection isn’t the main problem - remediation is. In today’s fast-paced development world, security teams are overwhelmed with alerts, while developers struggle to keep up with security tasks that feel disconnected from their workflow.

Futurize, Unite, and Simplify Application Security: A Black Hat Discussion

In this video from Black Hat 2025, A10 Networks security expert Jamiso Utter explains the critical need to "futurize our defenses." He argues that many current cybersecurity solutions, such as firewalls and Regex, are built on decades-old technology, making them ill-equipped to handle today's emerging threats. Jamison highlights the problem with buying from companies whose "bottom line is more important than your bottom line," leading to a fragmented "best-of-breed" approach that ultimately adds complexity to a network.
