Summary

As government agencies increasingly adopt cloud technologies, they must comply with stringent security standards like FedRAMP for civilian agencies and DISA's guidelines for the Department of Defense. Datadog, a cloud monitoring service, is pursuing higher FedRAMP High authorization, matching the DoD's Impact Level 5, allowing public-sector organizations to utilize its services for monitoring applications and infrastructure. Datadog offers full visibility into cloud environments by integrating with major providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure, enabling agencies to efficiently monitor system health and performance. Features such as setting alerts on key metrics, simulating user behavior, and visualizing server status help maintain operational efficiency and simplify troubleshooting. Datadog supports over 850 technologies, and both existing and new users can access its GovCloud solutions, with new users offered a 14-day free trial.
