US based Datadog unveils new AI security tools to tackle emerging risks at DASH 2025
New York:
Datadog, the New York-based
cloud monitoring
and security company, announced a series of new tools on June 10 to help businesses identify and resolve security threats in their artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The unveiling took place on the opening day of
DASH Conference 2025
, Datadog's annual two-day flagship event.
With AI becoming central to how software is developed and operated, Datadog is seeking to play a leading role in ensuring that businesses can safely adopt the technology. The company introduced several products aimed at improving observability, developer productivity, and security across enterprise AI environments.
One of the highlights of the launch was
Bits AI
, a suite of intelligent agents designed to automate key tasks across site reliability engineering (SRE), security operations, and software development. The agents are capable of troubleshooting incidents, managing alerts, and recommending fixes, reducing the burden on human teams.
Also introduced were new capabilities such as GPU monitoring, AI agent monitoring, and the APM Investigator, each aimed at helping enterprises optimise performance, control costs, and detect latency bottlenecks.

'We can all agree that change is happening much faster today with AI than ever before,' said Olivier Pommel, co-founder and CEO of Datadog.
'Our job at Datadog is to make sure that you can tame that complexity, that you can get those risks out of the way, so that you can happily and productively ride those technology waves all the way to success.'
Pommel highlighted that Datadog is making substantial investments in research and development to keep up with the rapid advancements in AI.
One such result is a new AI model named
TOTO
, created by Datadog's AI Lab for time series analysis. The company is releasing it as open-weight on the Hugging Face platform to foster transparency and innovation.
Alexey, co-founder of Datadog, said the new solutions were designed to enhance the day-to-day experience of developers and engineers. 'We ask ourselves, how can we apply these new techniques to make a difference in your daily work?' he said.
In addition, Datadog announced a voice interface for its
oncall
platform to streamline incident response for support teams. The company also spotlighted its expanding partnerships with AI pioneers such as OpenAI and Cursor, with plans to embed more third-party agents into enterprise workflows.
A key concern addressed at the conference was the security challenges unique to AI-native applications. As AI systems increasingly act autonomously—writing code, making decisions, and interacting with other software—they introduce new vulnerabilities that traditional security tools struggle to detect.
'AI has exponentially increased the ever-expanding backlog of security risks and vulnerabilities organisations deal with,' said Prashant Prahlad, Vice President of Security Products at Datadog. 'This is because AI-native apps are not deterministic; they're more of a black box and have an increased surface area that leaves them open to vulnerabilities like prompt or code injection.'
To mitigate these risks, Datadog unveiled tools across three core areas: development, application usage, and real-time operations. These include a code security feature that scans external code for hidden threats and suggests fixes using AI, and a
LLM Observability
tool that tracks unusual behavior in large language models.
The Cloud Security module now ensures compliance with standards like those from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), while a sensitive data scanner prevents personal data from being accidentally included in AI training datasets.
To protect live systems, Datadog also launched the
Bits AI security analyst
, which helps teams swiftly investigate alerts and anomalies, providing actionable insights to reduce both risk and downtime.

UK's Farage promises non-doms protection from tax on overseas assets
Nigel Farage 's Reform UK party is offering non-doms full exemption from tax on their overseas assets for a fee of £250,000 ($335,000) every 10 years with the revenue redistributed to lower income workers, drawing a new battle line with Britain's traditional parties. Farage's proposal pits him against both the Conservatives, which last year abolished non-dom status for those who live in Britain but have their permanent home abroad, and the Labour government, which went one step further after winning the election last July by imposing inheritance tax on their global wealth. Thousands of people in Britain have left in protest at Labour's inheritance tax measure, including some of the country's wealthiest individuals. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is now exploring changes to bring them back. Inheritance tax is charged at 40% in the UK, one of the highest rates in the developed world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo Farage would reinstate the old non-dom regime that protected them from tax on their overseas income, including inheritance tax, to reverse the exodus of the rich and business elite. Under Reform's so-called 'Britannia Card,' non-doms would have to pay the £250,000 fee. The Times first reported the story. (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) Proceeds from the levy would be transferred directly into the bank accounts of the lowest-earning 10% of workers. Reform estimated about 2.5 million people on a full-time salary of less than £23,000 would get £600 each if 6,000 non-doms paid for the Britannia Card. Live Events You Might Also Like: UK may rethink non-dom inheritance tax as wealthy foreigners exit Reform has become a credible threat to Britain's traditional two party system. It is leading in the polls and Farage is developing a more coherent policy agenda than with his former UKIP and Brexit parties, when he led largely single issue campaigns against the European Union. Critics warn that his plans for big tax cuts on working people paid for by slashing the size of the state could prove undeliverable. Reform's £250,000 'landing fee' is a little cheaper than the former non-dom regime under which there was an annual fixed charge of £30,000 if an individual lived in the UK for seven of the last nine tax years, rising to £60,000 if it was 12 of the last 14 tax years. Restoring the non-dom status would also cost Reform the £33.8 billion of income that the Office for Budget Responsibility estimated the Conservative and Labour changes will generate over this parliament. Companies House data compiled by Bloomberg found evidence of an exodus of more than 4,400 directors of UK businesses since last July. In April alone, when the tax hikes kicked in, departures were up about 75% from 12 months earlier.

Why stock market is falling today? Key factors behind 700-point Sensex crash, Nifty below 24,900
Indian benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty50 opened lower on Monday, tracking weakness in Asian peers, as investors remained cautious amid escalating tensions in the Middle East following U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities. The BSE Sensex was trading 745 points, or 0.90%, lower at 81,662, while the Nifty50 slipped 217 points, or 0.87%, to 24,895 around 9:40 am. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you eat ginger every day for a month, your body will experience the following phenomena Tips and Tricks Undo The market capitalisation of all listed companies on the BSE declined by nearly Rs 2 lakh crore to Rs 44.75 lakh crore in early trade. Sector-wise, Nifty IT fell over 1% amid concerns over continued weakness in global tech spending, after Accenture reported its third consecutive year-on-year decline in outsourcing orders. Nifty Bank, Financial Services, Auto, FMCG, and Consumer Durables also opened 0.5% to 1% lower. Key factors behind today's market decline: Live Events 1) Spike in crude prices after US strikes on Iran Markets came under pressure after crude oil prices surged to their highest levels since January, following U.S. airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear sites. Brent crude rose $1.33 (1.76%) to $76.79 a barrel as of 9:05 AM IST, while WTI gained $1.39 (1.88%) to $75.26. Earlier in the session, Brent had touched $81.40 and WTI $78.40 — both five-month highs — before paring gains. The rally was triggered after U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed a joint strike with Israel targeting Iran's main nuclear facilities. The escalation raised concerns of a wider Middle East conflict, with Iran vowing to retaliate. As Iran is OPEC's third-largest oil producer, fears intensified over a potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz — a vital chokepoint that handles nearly 20% of global crude shipments. Iran's Press TV reported that its parliament approved a measure to block the strait, though such threats have not materialized in the past. 2) Weakness in IT stocks after Accenture sell-off The Nifty IT index fell over 1% in early trade on Monday, weighed down by Infosys, HCL Tech, OFSS, and TCS, after Accenture shares slumped 7% in U.S. trading on Friday. The fall came despite the company beating revenue estimates for Q3, raising concerns about future demand and sector sentiment. Accenture reported revenue of $17.7 billion for the quarter ended May 31, ahead of the $17.3 billion estimate. The growth was supported by enterprise demand for AI-driven services. However, the sharp decline in share price highlighted investor concerns over declining margins and a muted outlook across key business verticals. Accenture also flagged a weak U.S. federal contracting environment amid spending cuts under the Trump administration, adding to investor unease.
