Datadog partnering with Chainguard in container security and observability

Datadog (DDOG) announced a partnership with Chainguard, a company providing foundation for software development and deployment. Together, Chainguard and Datadog will combine container observability with clear, prioritized actions to help engineering and security teams eliminate common vulnerabilities and exploits, and improve software development velocity. Through a new Chainguard dashboard in Datadog, customers can gain real-time insights into container risks, receive clear remediation recommendations, and transition to more secure alternatives. Although reducing software supply chain risk has become a board-level concern, ownership of this outcome is split between engineering and security teams, often resulting in gaps in visibility and accountability. The integration between Chainguard and Datadog aims to address these challenges by enhancing Datadog’s core container observability with new visibility and associated risk remediation potential, surfaced in a dashboard.
