The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification, CMMC, is currently the most important information security framework for thousands of businesses across the country. Businesses that wish to work with the Department of Defense, or a DoD subcontractor, are quite likely to need to earn their CMMC certification in order to win those contracts. For those businesses that haven't been paying attention, this can come as a significant surprise.

Most data management frameworks list security as one component among several, including governance, quality, integration, retention, architecture, and analytics. Security is often treated as an equally weighted checkbox on the same list as the others. That framing is where data security programs start to break down.

Ask any security leader how many APIs their organization runs, and you’ll usually get a confident number. Ask them how many AI agents are operating in their environment right now, what those agents are deciding to do, and which APIs they’re calling to do it, and the confidence tends to disappear.

Cloudflare has deployed new Web Application Firewall (WAF) protections for two critical vulnerabilities affecting WordPress. The protections address an Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in WordPress's REST API and a related SQL Injection vulnerability. The WordPress security team disclosed the vulnerabilities to Cloudflare before public release so that we could prepare protections for customers.

Security engineers using Cloud SIEM spend their day-to-day investigating signals, tuning detection rules, managing suppressions, running historical jobs across interconnected workflows, and more. Agents are becoming a practical way to navigate that complexity, and we built a set of security tools for the Datadog MCP Server to support them. Cloud SIEM is only one part of a broader cloud security ecosystem, so the Security MCP toolset has to grow across many teams and products.

“Enterprises that don’t have a metadata-driven approach to modernization could end up spending as much as 40% more on data management.” – Gartner That finding highlights a challenge many organizations underestimate: managing content is easy, but understanding what’s inside is much harder. Files get uploaded, folders multiply, and before long, your content repository looks like a digital attic—full of things that might be valuable, but impossible to sort.

The cybersecurity conversation usually revolves around attacks. We talk about ransomware, phishing, and critical vulnerabilities—but there is a much less visible problem that is limiting many organizations' ability to respond: operational complexity. Today, a single company might rely on dozens of security tools, manage workloads spread across multiple cloud providers, handle hundreds or thousands of digital identities, and support employees connecting from absolutely anywhere.

Fleets of robots, drones, EV chargers, and sensors now run K3s or MicroK8s on the device itself, bringing container orchestration to hardware deployed in warehouses, cell towers, and customer sites around the world. Engineers need kubectl to debug and manage containerized workloads on those devices in the field. But because each cluster requires a kubeconfig file, and every kubeconfig file is a shared static credential, risk grows with each new device added to the fleet.
