Datadog’s Container Images view provides key insights into every container image used in your environment, helping you quickly detect and remediate security and performance problems that can affect multiple containers in your distributed system. In addition to having a snapshot of the performance of your container fleet, it’s also critical to understand large-scale trends in security posture and resource utilization over time.Now, Datadog’s Container Image Trends view helps you answer key questions about image posture across your entire containerized infrastructure ..read more

Maintaining service availability is a challenge in today’s complex cloud environments. When a critical incident arises, the underlying cause can be buried in a sea of alerts from interconnected services and applications. Central operations teams often face an overload of disparate alerts, causing confusion, delayed incident response, alert fatigue, and redundant resolution efforts. These issues can negatively impact revenue and customer experience, especially during an outage.Having an aggregation layer that brings together and connects all of your events from disparate tools can be key to sif ..read more

As application architectures shift to the cloud and the velocity of software delivery accelerates, organizations are seeking more powerful capabilities to identify security vulnerabilities within their production applications. Traditional static application security testing (SAST) tools, by themselves, are insufficient. Because they don’t evaluate the flow of data in a real-world context, they tend to generate false positives and miss true risks—allowing vulnerable code to make its way to production more frequently ..read more

Security teams require complete visibility into their hosts, containers, and functions in order to detect, prioritize, and remediate their most pressing security risks. The Datadog Agent helps you achieve this visibility by collecting deep insights in your environment through logs, distributed traces, infrastructure metrics, and other key telemetry.As a complement to using the Datadog Agent for finding security risks in your environment, we are excited to announce the launch of Datadog Agentless Scanning ..read more

Machine learning (ML) platforms such as Amazon Sagemaker, Azure Machine Learning, and Google Vertex AI are fully managed services that enable data scientists and engineers to easily build, train, and deploy ML models. Common use cases for ML platforms include natural language processing (NLP) models for text analysis and chatbots, personalized recommendation systems for e-commerce web applications and streaming services, and predictive business analytics. Whatever your use case, a managed ecosystem helps simplify and expedite each step of the ML workflow by providing you with a broad set of to ..read more

Regardless of how much effort teams put into developing, training, and evaluating ML models before they deploy, their functionality inevitably degrades over time due to several factors. Unlike with conventional applications, even subtle trends in the production environment a model operates in can radically alter its behavior. This is especially true of more advanced models that use deep learning and other non-deterministic techniques. It’s not enough to track the health and throughput of your deployed ML service alone ..read more

Datadog’s infrastructure comprises hundreds of distributed services, which are constantly discovering other services to network with, exchanging data, streaming events, triggering actions, coordinating distributed transactions involving multiple services, and more. Implementing a networking solution for such a large, complex application comes with its own set of challenges, including scalability, load balancing, fault tolerance, compatibility, and latency.gRPC is an open source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that enables efficient communication between distributed systems by providing a ..read more

Private Service Connect (PSC) is a Google Cloud networking product that enables you to access Google Cloud services, third-party partner services, and company-owned applications directly from your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). PSC helps your network traffic remain secure by keeping it entirely within the Google Cloud network, allowing you to avoid public data transfer and save on egress costs. With PSC, producers can host services in their own VPCs and offer a private connection to their customers ..read more

Software Composition Analysis (SCA) is the practice of identifying the open source libraries your code depends on. By using SCA, you can analyze these dependencies and determine whether they are affected by any known vulnerabilities, contain malicious code, introduce licensing risk, or are poorly maintained. SCA helps teams understand their software’s dependencies and the security implications of using them so that they can safely build on and innovate with open source code ..read more

As your business evolves to serve more users, your applications and infrastructure will generate an increasing volume of logs, which may contain sensitive data such as credit card numbers, IP addresses, and tokens. When you collect sensitive data, you may be subject to laws such as GDPR—which restricts the transfer of personal data across borders, and you may face legal consequences if this data is exposed outside your infrastructure. Solutions that allow you to redact this information from your logs in an on-prem service, or even at the edge, can be costly to implement and complex to operate ..read more
