New capabilities include agentless
vulnerability scanning, discovery of data security risks in cloud
resources and detection of code vulnerabilities during
runtime
NEW
YORK, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security
platform for cloud applications, today announced new additions to
its security product portfolio—including Agentless Scanning, Data
Security and Code Security—which allow DevOps and security teams to
easily secure their code, cloud environments and production
applications.
As customers continue to adopt cloud-native technologies and
practices, complex cloud environments and agile DevOps practices
result in expanding risk across organizations' technology stacks.
To ensure that DevOps and security teams can effectively detect,
investigate and fix security issues, it is essential for them to
gain comprehensive, up-to-date and shared visibility over their
applications and cloud resources, including the data they store.
Moreover, they need the right context in order to prioritize
hundreds-to-thousands of signals effectively, and address their
most critical risks and threats as a priority.
To help with with these challenges, Datadog announced the
following capabilities that are now available in beta:
- Agentless Scanning: With Agentless Scanning,
Datadog's Cloud Security Management enables security teams to set
up monitoring for vulnerabilities within their hosts, containers
and serverless functions in minutes. Datadog Agentless Scanning
automatically discovers all cloud resources and monitors the
environments continuously for changes and new vulnerabilities.
Agentless Scanning complements the Datadog Agent, which provides
deep visibility into active threats and real-time observability
context for more effective prioritization of security issues.
- Data Security: Data Security helps teams easily
classify and discover sensitive data that is at risk of being
leaked in Amazon S3 buckets. Security teams can then use that
information to prioritize misconfigurations and fixes in cloud
environments.
- Code Security (IAST): A unique,
production-ready Interactive Applications Security Testing (IAST)
solution which achieved 100% accuracy in OWASP Benchmark, Code
Security detects and prioritizes application code vulnerabilities
at runtime and also provides suggested remediation steps to include
line of code. This new capability complements Datadog's Software
Composition Analysis, connecting runtime third-party risks to
development environments in order to help customers prioritize
critical fixes.
Traditional security solutions can be disjointed, making it
difficult for DevOps and security stakeholders to manage and
build the common context needed to take action," said Vikram Varakantam, Senior Director of Product at
Datadog. "Datadog provides a unified platform that brings security
and DevOps teams together and uses observability data from Datadog
Infrastructure Monitoring and APM to help them understand,
prioritize and act on their most critical risks. This comprehensive
approach enables more than 6,000 unique customers leveraging one or
more Datadog Security products to collaborate efficiently and
strengthen their security posture at every step of the software
lifecycle."
Agentless Scanning, Data Security and Code Security are now
available in beta. Learn more about Datadog's full suite of
security capabilities, including Cloud Security Management,
Application Security Management, Software Composition Analysis and
Cloud SIEM.
