·To ensure a safe and trustworthy user experience, Datadog builds security into our platform through safe design and proactive monitoring.
·Datadog provides security alerts and best practices dynamically in your organization in the Safety Center. Admins of an organization can visit this page to review recommendations and take action on high priority security warnings and alerts. The Safety Center can be found in Organization Settings.
·You can set primary and secondary email addresses to receive security notifications for your Datadog organization, keeping you informed about important account safety events and notifying the appropriate individuals promptly. Upon detecting security issues, like publicly exposed Datadog keys needing rotation (see Token Safety below), your assigned Security Contact will be notified. This proactive approach lets you quickly address and mitigate potential security risks. To configure Security Contacts for your organization you must have organization management permissions.
·Datadog proactively and automatically detects if one of your private Datadog API or application keys is accidentally uploaded to a public GitHub repository. If a valid key is detected, you'll receive an email notification with instructions on how to secure your account. In the event of a confirmed key leak, Datadog immediately sends an email notification to the key creator/owner. By default, the key creator/owner receives the email notification. If the key creator is no longer part of your organization, then the administrators of your organization will be notified. To notify additional contacts about a key leak, configure Security Contacts. If you receive a leaked key notification, follow these the remediation steps outlined in the email as soon as possible to ensure the security of your account.
·To protect your account from brute force and password-spraying attacks, Datadog automatically restricts the use of unsafe passwords, e.g. passwords that appear in third-party, non-Datadog data breaches. Datadog maintains a database of hashed passwords obtained from third-party, non-Datadog data breaches. When you sign in, a hashed version of your password is checked against this list. This check follows guidelines established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
·Many of Datadog's products combine live data, rich Markdown text, and collaborative features that enable users to create meaningful content. As a proactive safety measure, Datadog protects you against potentially harmful links that may be found in user-generated content. If you try to access a potentially unsafe link, Datadog displays a warning that shows the full URL and gives you the option of continuing to that site or returning to the previous page.
·Datadog provides platform security controls that help customers manage access, protect accounts, apply least-privilege permissions, and monitor activity within their Datadog organizations.
·Datadog supports SAML-based single sign-on, enabling customers to authenticate users through their identity provider. Customers can learn more about SAML configurations in Datadog's SAML documentation.
·Datadog supports multi-factor authentication for user accounts. Customers can configure authentication methods and MFA settings within their Datadog organization to align with their internal access control requirements. Additional information is available in Datadog's MFA documentation.
·Datadog includes default roles, including Admin, Standard, and Read-Only, and supports custom roles for more granular access management. Customers can use role-based access control to grant users only the permissions they need. Learn more about permissions and role configurations in Datadog's RBAC documentation.
·Organization administrators can configure session controls for web access, including maximum session duration and idle session timeout. These settings help limit the lifespan of authenticated sessions and automatically sign users out after a defined period of inactivity. Additional details are available in Datadog's organization settings documentation.
·Datadog Audit Trail helps customers monitor user and system activity within their organization, including who performed an action, what action was taken, and relevant context about the activity. Learn more about Datadog Audit Trail.
·Customers can manage API keys and application keys using controls designed to support scoped access, key lifecycle management, and least-privilege practices. Additional details are available in Datadog's API and application key management documentation.
·Current and historical uptime figures, along with corresponding incident and resolution notes for our services, are available on the Datadog status page.
