Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) by Datadog is a comprehensive security solution that integrates with their CNAPP platform to detect and protect against security issues throughout the software development lifecycle. Built on the unified Datadog Agent and platform-wide cloud integrations, it monitors and strengthens the security posture of cloud accounts, hosts, containers, and Kubernetes deployments through continuous configuration checks. The solution performs security scanning to identify misconfigurations and compliance violations across cloud infrastructure, tracks conformance to industry benchmarks, and conducts ongoing resource scanning for both ephemeral and long-lasting assets. It consolidates security workflows into a single platform and embeds observability context into security findings to assist with triaging the validity, business impact, and location of security issues.
