Threat modeling with Datadog Application Security Management

Threat modeling is crucial for building secure systems and involves system modeling to map out components and threat elicitation to identify vulnerabilities. However, organizations often face challenges such as lack of visibility into development, blind spots in data flows, discrepancies between design and implementation, and insufficient documentation. Datadog Application Security Management (ASM) addresses these gaps by providing comprehensive system mapping and real-time network data integration with distributed tracing tools like Service Map. This enables organizations to visualize their entire system, identify service owners, and mitigate threats by anticipating attack flows. ASM's deep integration with APM enhances threat modeling sessions, helping organizations develop valuable threat models for their systems with confidence.
