Datadog's AWS WAF integration enables organizations to monitor and analyze web ACL activity, metrics, and logs in one place. This provides a comprehensive view of security threats at the perimeter, APIs, and services within a network. Datadog's Application Security Management (ASM) complements existing protection by offering built-in threat intelligence, distributed in-app WAFs, and advanced log management capabilities. By leveraging Datadog's AWS WAF integration, organizations can extend their firewall protection to other layers of their environment, building a defense-in-depth strategy that includes perimeter firewalls, application security, and exploit prevention. This comprehensive approach enables better visibility into security threats, improved incident response, and enhanced overall security posture.
