Datadog is a modern monitoring and security platform that enables businesses to secure their systems, avoid downtime, and ensure the best possible end-user experience. The new Twingate and Datadog integration allows customers to conveniently visualize and analyze real-time network log data from Twingate Connectors directly within the Datadog platform, providing an additional layer of security and improved monitoring capability. This integration enables teams to trigger alerts based on unusual patterns in network-log data, identify connection attempts from sanctioned or high-risk countries, and drive efficiencies by visualizing which users are accessing which resources. With this integration, organizations can rapidly implement a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than traditional VPNs.

Aptible is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that manages infrastructure, security, and compliance for startups, making it easier to achieve certifications such as HIPAA and SOC2. Aptible's platform provisions databases and dockerized applications that meet stringent operating criteria required for industry certifications. Twingate, another company, offers unique identity-first networking and device posture features that help customers pass third-party audits more smoothly than traditional remote access and VPN solutions. The two companies have announced an integration that allows Twingate to be deployed on Aptible, enabling secure access to apps for development purposes, technical troubleshooting, and additional security layers. This integration aims to rapidly implement a modern Zero Trust network that is more secure and maintainable than traditional VPNs.
