Summary

The integration between Amazon Web Services (AWS) Well-Architected Tool and Datadog Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) enhances the ability of users to build secure, efficient, and cost-optimized cloud architectures by offering a centralized method to track adherence to Well-Architected best practices. By leveraging over 200 out-of-the-box rules, Datadog CSPM helps identify potential misconfigurations in cloud services that could compromise security, allowing for immediate validation and adherence to best practices within the Well-Architected security pillar, such as managing identities, detecting security events, and protecting networks and data. The integration also allows for streamlined architectural reviews by mapping compliance findings back to Well-Architected best practices, facilitating quick investigation and remediation through Datadog. Additionally, the partnership provides prescriptive guidance for optimizing management and governance across AWS environments, with Datadog CSPM offering users the option to self-enroll or explore a free trial to enhance their security operations and compliance posture.
