Chainguard announced a partnership with Datadog.
Together, Chainguard and Datadog will combine container observability with clear, prioritized actions to help engineering and security teams eliminate common vulnerabilities and exploits (CVEs), 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 seamlessly transition to more secure alternatives — accelerating software delivery while reducing security threats.
The integration between Chainguard and Datadog enhances Datadog's core container observability with new visibility and associated risk remediation potential, surfaced in a dashboard. The Chainguard dashboard organizes container metrics to understand where Chainguard is being used today and identifies environments where a more secure base image is available.
The dashboard will be available to all Datadog customers, offering a holistic view of existing container infrastructure and associated CVE risks, including:
- Containers built using Chainguard images
- Longest running container images
- Vulnerabilities in most widely-used images
- Chainguard alternatives for insecure container images
"Through our partnership with Datadog, we're combining leading observability with secure, minimal container solutions," said Kim Lewandowski, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder at Chainguard. "Chainguard is building the safe source for open source so customers can build more efficiently and securely from the start. Datadog is leading the way in observability and monitoring across cloud infrastructure. Together, we're empowering companies of all sizes to build software better."
"Tens of thousands of organizations rely on Datadog every day for real-time risk monitoring and visibility into the health and performance of their containerized environments," said Bharat Sajnani, Senior Vice President, Head of Corporate Development and Platform at Datadog. "With our integration with Chainguard, our customers can identify CVE risks within their container infrastructure, seamlessly pinpoint alternatives, and measure progress in implementing these minimal CVE container images. Together, we're helping companies make their container infrastructure more secure while making the most of their engineering resources."
With Chainguard and Datadog's integration, joint customers benefit from reduced risk across their application surface area. Now, security teams can move from reactive alerts to proactive risk reduction by identifying and prioritizing CVE remediation in their most widely deployed and high-risk containers. As a result, engineering teams will spend less time patching one-off containers, so organizations can redirect development resources and ship secure software faster.
The Chainguard and Datadog integration is now generally available.
