Summary

Datadog has introduced an Attacker Clustering feature to help organizations detect and respond to distributed attacks. This new feature groups attacker behaviors into distinct clusters, enabling the identification of complex threats and providing a holistic view of attacker strategies. By analyzing patterns from attributes such as user agents or Datadog Attacker fingerprints, the system can accurately detect stealthy threats while filtering out normal traffic. The clustering mechanism tracks evolving attacker strategies, adapts to new attack behaviors, and provides clear insights for incident response teams to quickly identify and respond to coordinated attacks.
