Summary

Datadog provides a comprehensive and customizable platform for monitoring application performance and security. The company has introduced Remote Configuration, which enables users to remotely configure the behavior of Datadog components deployed in their infrastructure. This feature allows users to strengthen their overall security posture, decrease management costs, and shorten resolution times. With Remote Configuration, users can receive real-time protection from attacks targeting web applications and APIs, update security detection rules for Cloud Workload Security, instrument tracing libraries, configure Observability Pipelines Workers, capture data from live applications, and more. To use this feature, users need to enable it in their organization's settings page, add a small line of code to their Datadog components' configuration files, and restart the Agent to apply changes to their environment. Remote Configuration is available for supported features such as Application Security Management (ASM) and Cloud Workload Security, allowing users to streamline security monitoring and enhance their overall security posture.
