After a year of lockdown, or nearly full lockdown, due to the ongoing health crisis, we learned a lot from how our organizations responded when we all had to change our work habits to a home-office setup.
Monitoring your on-prem and hybrid cloud infrastructure has always been important. With an ever-growing rise in cyber attacks, zero-day exploits, and insider threats, keeping track of your infrastructure has a renewed level of significance. Microsoft Exchange is one of the most prominent enterprise systems in use today, with both cloud and on-prem iterations.
We began our security journey last year with the release of Datadog Security Monitoring, which provides runtime security visibility and detection capabilities for your environment. Today, we are thrilled to announce that Sqreen, an application security platform, is joining the Datadog team. Together, these products further integrate the work of security, development, and ops teams—and provide a robust, full-stack security monitoring solution for the cloud age.
Digital attackers are increasingly launching sophisticated campaigns in an effort to target U.S. federal agencies and other organizations. Two recent examples demonstrate this reality. These are the SolarWinds supply chain attack and the HAFNIUM Exchange exploit campaign.
Integrity is a word thrown around a lot in the cybersecurity space. That’s not surprising. It is one of the three components that make up the CIA Triad, after all.
