Extending investment to secure its customers’ cloud and AI applications, the need for new capabilities has arisen out of AI workloads fostering new attack surfaces. Microservices now come with capabilities that can spin up autonomous agents for revealing secrets, shipping code, and even calling external APIs without any human intervention.

To avoid developers who rely on third-party code repositories being exposed to poisoned code and hidden vulnerabilities, the company has introduced Datadog Code Security. Now generally available, it empowers developers and security teams to detect and prioritize vulnerabilities in first-party code and open source libraries, leveraging AI to solve complex issues in both AI and traditional applications.

Another capability unveiled by the company is Datadog LLM Observability. Now generally available, the LLM Observability monitors AI models and looks for harmful behavior across prompts and responses within an organization’s AI applications. The company has also introduced Bits AI Security Analyst, a new AI agent that automatically triages security signals and performs detailed investigations of potential threats.

Lastly, Datadog’s Workload Protection will allow customers to monitor the interaction between LLMs and their host environment, allowing production AI models to stay secure.

“AI has exponentially increased the ever-expanding backlog of security risks and vulnerabilities organizations deal with. This is because AI-native apps are not deterministic; they’re more of a black box and have an increased surface area that leaves them open to vulnerabilities like prompt or code injection. The latest additions to Datadog’s Security Platform provide preventative and responsive measures—powered by continuous runtime visibility—to strengthen the security posture of AI workloads, from development to production.”
