Why Datadog is a 2025 Cloud Security Leader

Datadog outlines its recognition in the 2025 Latio Cloud Security Market Report and explains Cloud Application Detection and Response (CADR) as an approach to unify logs and provide end-to-end attack narratives across hybrid-cloud environments. The post details Datadog Security’s capabilities—including scalable log management, UEBA, Cloud SIEM with entity-centric investigations, agentic workflows (Bits AI Security Analyst), and code-to-cloud coverage via IDE extensions, PR comments, and gates—and its runtime-based vulnerability prioritization. It positions Datadog as a unified, context-aware security platform connecting code, cloud, and runtime to reduce noise and accelerate investigations.
