Signal Sciences + Datadog: improving web application security

Web application security has been stagnant for over a decade due to lack of changes in development processes. However, recent developments such as agile and Devops models, cloud infrastructure, and microservices have necessitated an update in web application security initiatives. Signal Sciences' integration with Datadog brings intelligent alerting engine for web application security into common practice. The Next Generation Firewall (NGWAF) by Signal Sciences incorporates visibility into real-time attack data, advanced detection and blocking techniques, and quick reaction to attempted and successful attacks. This integration provides an excellent platform for understanding collected security environment data, creating alerts on detected attacks, and correlating threat activities with their effects throughout the stack. It also improves security-data analytics and alerting by allowing correlation of multiple data sources including development, operations, and security integration points. Effective security relies on data measurement, which is provided by Datadog and Signal Sciences through surfacing and alerting on important metrics and data points.
