Summary

Datadog provides visibility into an organization's security posture across three key areas: response and remediation, incidents and threats, and governance, compliance, and preparedness. Datadog Cloud SIEM automatically tracks mean time to detect (MTTD), mean time to acknowledge (MTTA), and mean time to resolve (MTTR), providing a built-in overview dashboard for reviewing each metric alongside other data such as signal trends. Datadog Flex Logs decouples the cost of log storage from querying, providing short- and long-term log retention without sacrificing visibility. The platform also provides tracking SLOs, false positive rate (FPR) metrics, and security incident data to help organizations measure their level of preparedness and overall compliance. Additionally, Datadog offers built-in compliance reports for quickly identifying gaps in the environment, automated security baselines, and scorecards to simplify the process of applying checks across services and monitoring their status. By providing this visibility into key areas of an organization's security posture, Datadog enables teams to continually monitor their services for security issues, minimize costly risks, and prioritize security-focused metrics, goals, and events that matter most to the organization.
