D cloud applications , has announced 15 months of data retention for Cloud SIEM , with new detection and exploration capabilities so security teams can conduct historical investigations and uncover threats hidden within their cloud and IT environments .

Conducting investigations is time-consuming as security teams are constantly importing and archiving older logs to long-term storage . These logs may be spread across multiple environments and geographies for compliance reasons and often must be reindexed before an investigation can start . Customers may also need to write complex search queries to correlate user activity with other security events to uncover a threat .
Datadog Cloud SIEM visualises security activity across systems or entities – such as users , devices , IP addresses , apps and network connections – within the organisation ’ s infrastructure for as far back as 15 months . This new capability enables customers to correlate and uncover embedded threats without having to write custom queries or import log data for every investigation .
Without the ability to retain logs for a long period of time , companies are at risk of missing deep embedded issues that may threaten the availability and integrity of systems , apps , services and data .
“ Without the ability to retain logs for a long period of time , companies are at risk of missing deep embedded issues that may threaten the availability and integrity of systems , apps , services and data ,” said Yash Kumar , Senior Director of Product Management , Cloud SIEM , Datadog . “ With Cloud SIEM , security teams now have a time machine to discover hidden threats and malicious activity . They can visualise and correlate events as far back as 15 months , making historical investigations faster and easier .” u intelligent CLOUD SECURITY www . intelligentciso . com
