Loginsoft developed Datadog Cloud SIEM integration for a leading SOAR platform

Introduction

Loginsoft implemented Datadog Cloud SIEM integration with a leading SOAR platform to improve automated security operations. Datadog Cloud SIEM provides real-time security visibility across cloud workloads, while the SOAR platform orchestrates investigation and response workflows. By enabling Datadog with the SOAR platform, the integration allows security alerts to be enriched, correlated, and acted upon automatically, reducing manual effort and accelerating incident response.

Key Takeaways  

• Datadog Cloud SIEM integration enables automated alert ingestion into the SOAR platform.
• Datadog with the SOAR platform enriches incidents with real-time security context.
• SOAR automation accelerates investigation and response workflows.
• Integrated intelligence reduces analyst workload and response time.

Datadog is a monitoring and observability platform that helps organizations collect, analyze, and visualize infrastructure and application data. It provides a wide range of features, including:

1. Logs: Datadog collects logs from your infrastructure and applications, such as system logs, application logs, and security logs.
2. Traces: Datadog collects traces from your infrastructure and applications, which can help you identify performance bottlenecks and errors.
3. Alerts: Datadog can send you alerts when your metrics, logs, or traces exceed predefined thresholds. This can help you identify problems early and take corrective action before they impact your users.
4. Metrics: Datadog collects metrics from your infrastructure and applications, such as CPU usage, memory usage, and HTTP requests
5. Dashboards: Datadog provides a variety of pre-built dashboards that you can use to visualize your data. You can also create custom dashboards to meet your specific needs.

This integration (developed by Loginsoft) allows you to send Datadog events, incidents, and metrics to the SOAR platform.

Here are some of the benefits of using Datadog with the SOAR platform:

• Increased visibility
• Improved troubleshooting
• Enhanced collaboration
• Orchestration and Automated Response

Integrating a Datadog Cloud SIEM with a SOAR solution combines the power of each to create a more robust, efficient, and responsive security program. Taking advantage of the Datadog Cloud SIEM’s ability to ingest large volumes of data and generate alerts, the SOAR solution can be layered on top of the SIEM to manage the incident response process to each alert, automating and orchestrating multiple third-party tools from different vendors, carry out a number of enrichment and response actions and a number of mundane and repetitive tasks that would take many manual man hours to complete.

For example, a specific set of playbooks and runbooks for phishing attacks could be used to extract indicators from a Datadog incident, checking each indicator through various threat intelligence sources, any attachments could be extracted and scanned through antivirus or sandbox technology. If any malicious indicators were noted in the previous steps, containment actions such as quarantining the email across the domain, blocking the sender, domain or IP address, banning the execution of the malicious attachment, or many others.

This is just one example of how Datadog Cloud SIEM and SOAR can be used in tandem to respond to potential security threats; however, the potential use cases are limited only by the creativity of the security team.

This integration provides organizations with a solution for centralized security visibility and Automation that can meet their growing needs across a decentralized digital estate and will improve security operations efficiency, efficacy, and consistency.

Conclusion

Datadog Cloud SIEM integration with a SOAR platform is critical for modern, automated security operations. By connecting Datadog with the SOAR platform, Loginsoft enables security teams to transform raw alerts into actionable incidents with minimal manual intervention. This integration improves response speed, consistency, and operational efficiency across security workflows.

FAQs

Q1. What is Datadog Cloud SIEM integration?

Datadog Cloud SIEM brings security monitoring and observability together by correlating logs, metrics, and traces on one platform. It enables real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across cloud and hybrid environments using AI-driven insights, prebuilt detection rules, and seamless integrations with security tools. By showing security events alongside performance data, it helps security, DevOps, and operations teams quickly identify threats and streamline incident response with full context.

Q2. Why integrate Datadog with a SOAR platform?

Integrating Datadog with a SOAR platform centralizes alerts, enriches threat context, and automates repetitive SOC tasks. Automated playbooks turn Datadog signals into actionable responses, such as blocking malicious IPs or isolating users, cutting investigation time and enabling faster, more efficient threat containment beyond detection alone.

Q3. What role does the SOAR platform play in this integration?

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) platforms act as a central control hub that connects multiple security tools, orchestrates end-to-end workflows, and automates repetitive tasks. By unifying security operations and incident response, SOAR platforms help teams respond faster, reduce manual effort, and operate more efficiently.

Q4. How does this integration improve incident response?

This integration accelerates incident response by enabling faster detection, automated containment, and streamlined workflows. By reducing manual effort and centralizing data with real-time insights, it minimizes impact, shortens resolution times, and allows security teams to focus on complex threats, shifting security from reactive to proactive with greater accuracy, consistency, and analyst efficiency.

Q5. Who benefits from Datadog Cloud SIEM integration?

Datadog Cloud SIEM benefits security analysts, IT operations, developers, incident responders, and security leaders by providing a unified view of security and observability data. By correlating logs, metrics, traces, and security signals, it enables faster threat detection, automated triage, and quicker investigation in dynamic cloud environments. With real-time, risk-based insights, rich dashboards, and seamless integrations, teams can cut response times from hours to minutes while operating with greater context, accuracy, and efficiency.
