Summary

Amber Bennoui and Matt Mills discuss the growing popularity of serverless infrastructure and how customers are deploying containers via AWS Fargate, which can introduce security challenges. Datadog Cloud Security Management (CSM) provides real-time threat detection for these environments, monitoring suspicious process and file activity, detecting anomalies like malicious file changes, and helping customers meet compliance requirements. The CSM solution is designed to detect threats targeting ECS and EKS containers deployed via AWS Fargate, including common tactics used by attackers such as exploiting vulnerable software, compromising AWS credentials, and deploying cryptominers. Datadog's security suite offers full-spectrum threat detection for these environments, providing coverage for attackers using compromised account credentials, malicious Docker images, and other techniques to gain initial access or execute on ECS containers. The solution is designed to surface threats in ECS and EKS workloads deployed via AWS Fargate today.
