Monitor Slack audit logs with Datadog Cloud SIEM

Millions of enterprise users rely on Slack every day as their primary tool for instant communications and information sharing. Because of its central role in operations, Slack inevitably handles sensitive data and critical business information—which also makes it a high-value target for attackers. For this reason, it’s critically important for security teams to detect and respond to security threats against Slack.

Datadog On Secure Remote Updates

In modern dynamic environments there is a requirement to be able to quickly respond to signals and change the configuration of your applications and systems. As Datadog supports an ever widening set of customer use cases, it has become necessary to allow for updates to systems directly from Datadog's platform. In this session, host Rory McCune (Senior Advocate) will be joined by Arthur Bellal (Staff Engineer) and Paul Coignet (Software Engineer II) from the fleet automation team to discuss how Datadog approached the challenge of building out a secure remote update facility.

What's new in Cloud SIEM Content Packs: September 2024

Implementing a security incident and event management (SIEM) system can be complex and often requires considerable expertise. Teams need to configure a variety of data sources and ensure their SIEM can scale with growing data volumes. In addition, users need time to learn the system, which can delay value realization. And SIEMs also need continuous maintenance to ensure threat intelligence, detection rules, and integrations are up to date.

Datadog delivers smarter vulnerability remediation

Security teams today normally perform ongoing vulnerability remediation as a key part of their efforts to secure applications. This process entails applying updates to remove known flaws, typically published as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), that are discovered in third-party libraries within application code. While “applying updates” might sound like a straightforward task, in practice, eliminating vulnerabilities has become increasingly challenging in the current environment.

How our Cloud SIEM team uses context attributes with Continuous Profiler to get crucial performance insights

When building applications that ingest and analyze millions of data points per second, developers as a rule require good observability data on workload performance. That principle certainly holds true for us on the Cloud SIEM team, where delivering a highly reliable and responsive product to our customers is central to our day-to-day operations.

How financial services companies discover, classify, and manage sensitive data with Datadog

As financial services companies, such as banks, hedge funds, and stock exchanges, move to the cloud, sensitive data often unintentionally moves with them. To help avoid costly breaches and address governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) requirements such as PCI-DSS, GDPR, and SOC 2, these organizations may need to identify where in the cloud sensitive data can leak and be able to redact it at scale.

A deep dive into investigating a complex denial-of-service attack

On April 19, 2024, Datadog’s US5 website (app.us5.datadoghq.com) started experiencing elevated error rates, though they were low enough that most of our users didn’t notice them. For the next few days, we worked around the clock responding to multiple episodes of this mysterious attack, which gradually unfolded as we investigated. We also implemented several measures to reduce the impact on our customers.
