Datadog Code Security achieves 100 percent accuracy in OWASP Benchmark by using an IAST approach

Datadog has introduced Code Security, an interactive application security testing (IAST) solution designed to identify vulnerabilities in production applications with high accuracy and minimal performance impact. The tool achieved a perfect score of 100% in the OWASP Benchmark test, demonstrating its effectiveness in correctly detecting application vulnerabilities while avoiding false positives. Code Security also provides specific information about detected vulnerabilities, such as type, service name, owner, filename, and line number, enabling quick identification and remediation. This production-ready solution allows teams to benefit from IAST in a real-world setting without compromising application performance.
