Sanctioned Isn't Secured: The AI Audit Logs Your SIEM Never Sees

Your organization has approved AI platforms for development, data science, and productivity. Procurement signed off. Legal reviewed the terms. Employees are using them. The tools are sanctioned. What isn’t sanctioned is invisibility. The administrative layer of every AI platform in your environment — OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, Cursor, Databricks, Glean and others — generates security-relevant events that your SIEM has never seen.

The AI Engineering Playbook: How to Evaluate & Iterate at Every Phase of Development

AI coding tools are accelerating development velocity, creating a release challenge most teams aren’t equipped for. Without controlled rollout, higher change velocity makes it harder to know which specific release drove the results you’re seeing in production. And when teams use AI, to build AI – LLM apps and AI agents– complexity multiplies. Traditional observability can’t ensure AI agent quality, performance, and cost-efficiency at production scale.

Reduce CDN log costs with searchable archives

Engineering teams that manage high-volume log sources, such as content delivery network (CDN) edges, streaming platforms, and authentication systems, often have to make a difficult retention tradeoff. Indexing every event keeps logs searchable during investigations, audits, and postmortems, but it can make long-term retention expensive.

Ship Reliable AI Faster: How to Operate AI Agents with Control and Confidence

Replace "AI shipped on hope" with an operating model that holds up once real users depend on it. AI quality is multi-dimensional, covering accuracy, tone, safety, and faithfulness to user data, and can't be debugged from outputs alone. Without visibility into what their AI actually did in production, teams miss regressions, reverse-engineer chains by hand, and watch a single bad answer erode trust built over hundreds of right ones.

From Legacy to AI-Ops: Securing and Scaling Systems for 20M Device Requests with Datadog

Modernizing a legacy system serving 20 million devices without users noticing is like replacing a jet engine mid-flight. In this session, YoungJin Jung and Donggen Hong from LG U+ share their 18-month journey transforming a Telco-scale API Gateway from a rigid, proprietary solution into a high-performance, open-source architecture on AWS, and the operational challenges they solved along the way.
