Datadog Integration: Secure Monitoring & Threat Insights

Learn how Obsidian secures Datadog by monitoring integrations, controlling access, and enforcing compliance in observability.

Why Datadog Needs SaaS Security

Trying to protect SaaS without the right tools or context adds complexity and ignores risk:

  • Manual review does not scale: Security settings and permissions are unique for every vendor, demanding significant time and expertise to manage across SaaS
  • SaaS requires continuous monitoring: Access and privileges persist and evolve beyond intended use without monitoring or lifecycle enforcement, growing the attack surface
  • Disparate security leaves gaps: No centralized visibility or control over third-party app authorizations, OAuth scopes, or integration activity can leave risks unnoticed
  • Attackers are focused on SaaS: Compromise of high-privilege tokens or integrations can grant attackers persistent, organization-wide access to sensitive data

How Obsidian Security Defends Datadog

  • Continuously enforce secure SaaS configurations: Obsidian scores configurations based on criticality according to built-in or custom policies and flags high-priority failures.
  • Prioritize instantly with evidence-based posture alerts: Reduce business friction while minimizing unacceptable risk within a unified interface.
  • Right-size privileged access and SaaS integrations: The Obsidian Knowledge Graph unifies identity across SaaS to flag weak MFA, inactive accounts, shadow admins, and overly broad scopes, human or non-human.
  • Automate SaaS audits to easily prove compliance: Track SaaS posture in real time and map controls to frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS, and NIST.

The Future of SaaS Security in Datadog with Obsidian

Datadog empowers cloud access and visibility, but also introduces risks from excessive access and third-party code. Obsidian’s SaaS-native security stack continuously monitors token usage, enforces secure configurations, and delivers identity-aware detection to help organizations mitigate modern SaaS threats.
