Datadog, provider of monitoring and security for cloud applications, has announced new additions to its security product portfolio, which allow DevOps and security teams to easily secure their code, cloud environments and production applications.
As part of these additions, Datadog has announced new capabilities that are now available in beta, including Agentless Scanning, which enables security teams to set up monitoring for vulnerabilities within their hosts, containers and serverless functions in minutes; Data Security, which helps teams easily classify and discover sensitive data that is at risk of being leaked in Amazon S3 buckets; and IAST Code Security, which is a new capability that 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. 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.
