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:
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:
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.
