Secure your web apps running on Azure App Service with Datadog Application Security Management

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) commonly used to deploy applications and APIs, as well as functions, mobile apps, and more.

Understanding Software Licensing Agreements

The great Yogi Berra is often quoted as having said "in theory, there is no difference between practice and theory. In practice, there is."

Security Ratings as a Vehicle for Communication

There’s never going to be a silver bullet that makes a CISO’s job easy, but I believe that with the right people, tools, metrics, and KPIs, the job can become easier. My fellow security leaders—the CISO mafia, if you will—have expressed frustration in the past when it comes to Security Ratings. Their view has been that an external rating was not done with any cooperation or internal view of their security environment.
