Datadog is constantly elevating the approach to cloud monitoring and security. This Month in Datadog updates you on our newest product features, announcements, resources, and events. To learn more about Datadog and start a free 14-day trial, visit Cloud Monitoring as a Service. This month we put the Spotlight on Datadog Application Security which is now in public beta.

Datadog's Cloud Security Platform—consisting of Cloud SIEM, Posture Management, and Workload Security—delivers real-time threat detection and continuous configuration audits across your applications, hosts, containers, and cloud infrastructure. Datadog derives security insights from your observability data, enabling security and DevOps teams to work together to detect, investigate, and remediate threats.

At Datadog, customer trust and data security are of the utmost importance. As a high growth company, navigating the tradeoffs of security and development agility are especially critical. Our customers expect us to continually improve our platform, while providing a compliant, secure environment for their most critical data. Balance is key to rolling out features rapidly and keeping systems secure.

Have a question you’ve been wanting to ask about security at scale, supply chain, or managing great security teams? Join our speakers, industry experts, and Datadog’s very own CISO for an AMA on the “Art of Defense.” We’ll explore all of the topics from the conference speaking sessions and open the door to questions on what we may see from attack and defense in 2021 and beyond.

From day one, most organizations,especially the big ones, are targeted with a broad range of attacks. These range from information exfiltration attempts to fraud. Although a great majority of them can be addressed with the help of a Web Application Firewall, there are some that require more extensive tooling. Join me as I show you how we use Sherlock and Datadog to block 30,000+ fraudulent users per week in seconds. We will also discuss other applications and how you can implement similar solutions.

Open source modules on the NPM ecosystem are undoubtedly awesome. However, they also represent an undeniable and massive risk, since you’re introducing someone else’s code into your system, often with little or no scrutiny. The wrong package can introduce critical vulnerabilities into your application, exposing your application and your user's data. This talk will use a sample application, Goof, which uses various vulnerable dependencies, which we will exploit as an attacker would. For each issue, we'll explain why it happened, show its impact, and—most importantly—learn how to avoid or fix it.

In this video, you’ll learn how to use Datadog to help improve your overall compliance posture for all 5 pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework.

Datadog Security Monitoring allows you to detect threats in real time and investigate security signals across your infrastructure, applications, and network. This video shows you the capabilities and how you can be up and running in just a few minutes.
