As the internet continues to evolve, cybersecurity threats—particularly Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks—are an increasingly significant concern for organizations. In this post, we’ll look at how you can use Datadog to collect Google Cloud Armor (GCA) logs and detect and respond to potential DDoS attacks in real-time. But first, we’ll briefly cover what DDoS attacks are and how they work.
CoreWeave is a specialized GPU cloud provider powering the AI revolution. It delivers the fastest and most consistent solutions for use cases that depend on GPU-accelerated workloads, including VFX, pixel streaming and generative AI.

The capabilities of cloud computing have changed the digital landscape significantly, and the popularity of cloud solutions only continues to increase. According to Gartner, the market for public cloud services is expected to surpass 700 billion USD by the end of 2024. The growth of cloud technologies presents a wealth of new opportunities for IT teams but also brings a host of security challenges.
With the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber threats, companies often rely on partners to help provide security services and solutions. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Managed Security Service Provider competency is a hallmark of reliability for MSSPs and other vendors, signifying their capability to provide effective security solutions on AWS’s robust platform.
Most cloud providers use a shared security responsibility model, meaning they secure some areas of the environment but expect the customer to establish security controls in others. AWS is one of the many cloud providers that follow the concept of shared responsibility. Generally speaking, they split responsibility into two categories. AWS focuses on the security of the cloud, such as the infrastructure that runs all AWS services.
One of my favourite tools for playing with REST APIs is, of course, Postman. It can make interacting with DataTrails super quick and easy, and help you develop custom workflows for storing and validating your digital provenance and audit trails. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting a robust Postman set-up configured, and if you head over the Postman public collections you’ll find a link to a pre-baked DataTrails Postman collection with this done for you, along with some example requests.
Web applications are one of the most common vector for breaches, accounting for over 40% of breaches according to Verizon's 2022 Data Breach Report. Ensuring that your web applications are sufficiently protected and continue to be monitored once they are in production is vital to the security of your customers and your organization.
OpenAI has suffered a successful DDoS attack following the first-ever DevDay—where OpenAI announced ChatGPT-4 Turbo and the GPT Store. OpenAI’s ChatGPT launch was nearly a year ago and has since become the mainstream solution for AI tasks. The software hosts a hearty 180.5 million users, many of whom use the software for professional tasks. The DDoS attack is alarming, not because it happened, but because of who claims the event—Russian-backed Anonymous Sudan.
