Datadog announces commitment to achieving FedRAMP High and Impact Level 5 authorizations

Government agencies adopting cloud technologies need to follow strict compliance and security standards set by programs like FedRAMP for civilian federal agencies and Impact Levels for Department of Defense (DoD) agencies. Datadog, a monitoring service, is committed to pursuing FedRAMP High authorization, which corresponds to Impact Level 5 for DoD agencies. This level of certification allows public-sector organizations to use Datadog for monitoring their applications and infrastructure in the cloud. Datadog integrates with major cloud providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure, providing a unified view into the health and performance of these systems. It also offers features such as alerts on key metrics, synthetic monitoring, host map visualization, and metric correlation for efficient troubleshooting.
