Datadog CI Visibility, now available in beta, provides critical visibility into your organization’s CI/CD workflows. CI Visibility complements Datadog’s turn-key CI provider integrations and the integration of synthetic tests in CI pipelines to give you deep insight into key pipeline metrics and help you identify issues with your builds and testing.
When responding to an incident, you need to quickly find the scope of the issue so you know which teams to notify and which parts of your system to investigate next—before your end users are affected. But as multiple processes use resources on each of your hosts, and interact in unexpected ways, it can be difficult to know exactly what is causing an issue—especially if those processes are running off-the-shelf software.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an increasingly popular method for securing user accounts that requires users to provide two or more pieces of identifying information when logging into an application. This information can consist of unique verification links or codes sent to the user’s phone or email address, as well as time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs) generated by authenticator applications or hardware.
On May 12, 2021, President Biden signed an executive order calling on federal agencies to improve their cybersecurity practices. Following the recent SolarWinds and Colonial Pipeline attacks, it is clear that security incidents can severely impact the economy and civilians' day-to-day lives and that cybersecurity needs to be a high-priority issue. We encourage you to read the full executive order.
Modern applications are often composed of countless distributed services, which makes it difficult to understand dependencies, isolate bottlenecks, and remediate errors. Datadog APM helps you tackle this complexity by allowing you to search and analyze 100 percent of your traces in real time. But without a dynamic view of your architecture, it can still be challenging to contextualize a specific request without getting lost in the details.
For the first time in its 30-year history, the 2021 RSA Conference was a virtual-only event, and not in its usual time during the spring. But, with 20,000 registrants joining for the various sessions, it was a testament to this year’s conference theme of resilience.
With DevOps teams moving at ever greater speed, it’s vital for security teams to be deeply involved at all stages of the software development and delivery lifecycle. Breaking down silos between development, operations, and security teams ensures that security considerations are not overlooked, that vulnerabilities are caught early, and that security checkpoints do not slow down the delivery process.
Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) are major inhibitors for organizations moving to the cloud—and for good reason. Cloud environments are complex, and even a single misconfigured security group can result in a serious data breach. In fact, misconfigurations were the leading cause of cloud security breaches in 2020. This puts a lot of pressure on developer and operations teams to properly secure their services and maintain regulatory compliance.
ASP.NET Core is an open source web development framework that enables you to develop .NET applications on macOS, Linux, and Windows machines. The introduction of .NET Core in 2016 dramatically increased the number of ways to build and deploy .NET applications. This means that you need the ability to easily monitor application performance across a wide variety of platforms, such as Docker containers.
