Summary

Twingate is a network access platform that enables customers to deploy a zero-trust authentication layer with their infrastructure as code (IAC) provider of choice, allowing for strict access control rules and real-time monitoring. After installing the Twingate integration, Datadog populates an out-of-the-box dashboard with key network events, such as recent Twingate events, resources accessed by clients, and data volume traveling across the network. This dashboard can be used to monitor security audit events in near-real time, identify suspicious clients accessing high-risk countries or under imposed sanctions, and track entity activity across cloud platforms. Additionally, log-based monitors can be configured to automatically alert on suspicious activity, such as spikes in data transfers, access attempts from public IP addresses, and more, enabling immediate response within Datadog Incident Management. By integrating Twingate with Datadog, customers can monitor their network's access activity alongside the rest of their environment in a unified platform, promoting security and compliance.
