Protect your applications from zero-day attacks with Datadog Exploit Prevention

Datadog has introduced Exploit Prevention, a new security feature in its Application Security Management (ASM) platform. This feature uses runtime application self-protection (RASP) to identify potential vulnerabilities and block malicious HTTP requests before they can be exploited. Unlike traditional firewall-based solutions or software composition analysis tools, Exploit Prevention provides real-time visibility into an application's behavior and data flows, enabling organizations to detect and prevent attacks targeting unknown vulnerabilities. The In-App web application firewall (WAF) embedded within the tracer analyzes input/output entry points in code and uses request data as context to determine if a vulnerability is being exploited. Exploit Prevention is available for .NET, Go, Java, NodeJS, and Python tracers and will soon be available for PHP and Ruby tracers.
