April’s This Month in Datadog spotlights the Datadog MCP Server, which gives AI agents secure, real-time access to Datadog telemetry, and Datadog Experiments, which lets you design, launch, and analyze experiments to see the full impact of product changes on the user journey. Plus, we cover how to: Accelerate Cloud SIEM investigations with Bits AI Security Analyst Remediate vulnerabilities in your codebase with Bits AI Dev Agent for Code Security Explore Datadog with natural language using Bits Assistant.

Datadog has always been driven by a broader vision of helping teams understand and operate complex systems. In this session, you’ll hear from Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer, and Shri Subramanian, Group Product Manager, as they share the latest updates across the Datadog product suite and discuss how that vision continues to shape the platform’s evolution and support the next generation of AI-driven applications.

In this session, you’ll hear from Yrieix Garnier, VP of Product, and Hugo Kaczmarek, Senior Director of Product, as they share the latest updates across the Datadog product suite and discuss how that vision continues to shape the platform’s evolution and support the next generation of AI-driven applications.

As AI coding assistants accelerate software development, the volume of pull requests at Datadog has grown to nearly 10,000 per week, increasing the risk that malicious changes slip through due to review fatigue. To address this, Datadog built BewAIre, an LLM-powered code review system designed to identify malicious source code changes introduced by threat actors. By reducing approval fatigue for developers while increasing friction for attackers, BewAIre guides human reviewers to the areas where judgment matters most, without slowing developer velocity.

Auth0, part of Okta, is one of the most trusted identity platforms in the world—helping enterprises secure authentication and customer logins at massive scale. Their business depends on resiliency and reliability, and they maintain an extremely high SLA of 99.99% uptime. Because even seconds of downtime can impact customer logins, Auth0 set out to strengthen observability with Datadog across their entire environment and accelerate the way their teams detect, troubleshoot, and resolve issues.

Datadog's Bits AI Security Analyst transforms the way security teams handle investigations by autonomously triaging Datadog Cloud SIEM signals. Built natively in Datadog, it conducts in-depth investigations of potential threats and delivers clear, actionable recommendations. With context-rich guidance for mitigation, security teams can stay ahead of evolving threats with greater efficiency and precision.

Datadog Detect is a virtual mini-conference dedicated to helping security teams modernize detection and response by applying engineering best practices. Hear talks from industry experts, including security researchers and engineers at Datadog, Red Canary, and Corelight to learn about building scalable, effective security operations.

In this talk, Megan Roddie-Fonseca, Sr. Security Engineer at Datadog, addresses the challenge of finding "just right" detections, leveraging data classification techniques like recall and precision to balance false positives and missed attacks. Presented on October 30, 2025 for Datadog Detect.

In this talk, David Burkett, Cloud Security Researcher at Corelight, highlights how timeless evasion tactics create critical blind spots in cloud workloads, and illustrates the role of Network Detection and Response (NDR) as a resilient countermeasure. Presented on October 30, 2025 for Datadog Detect.

In their talk, Katie Nickels (Sr. Director of Intelligence Operations) and Jesse Griggs (Sr. Threat Researcher) from Red Canary show you how to adapt an endpoint detection mindset to the cloud, specifically focusing on pre-impact TTPs and building robust cloud detections.
