Introducing Datadog App and API Protection

Datadog has introduced App and API Protection (AAP) as an enhancement to its Security Platform, designed to secure modern production systems against sophisticated threats. AAP enables security, operations, and development teams to collaborate effectively in building secure applications by providing real-time alerts for threats targeting business logic, identifying authenticated malicious actors, and offering insights for remediation through code-level visibility. The platform covers a wide range of vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10 attacks like SSRF and SQL injections, and plans to expand further. AAP's integration with Datadog's existing monitoring tools allows for seamless implementation without additional deployment requirements, offering a comprehensive view of the entire attack surface by unifying application, API, and infrastructure security management. This integration helps teams quickly assess the impact of attacks and respond effectively, ensuring robust protection for customer data and company infrastructure.
