Implements security monitoring using Datadog Cloud SIEM, Cloud Security Management (CSM), and Workload Protection to detect threats, enforce compliance, and respond to security events across cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Covers Agent deployment, log source ingestion, detection rule creation, security dashboards, and automated notification workflows. Activates for requests involving Datadog security setup, Cloud SIEM configuration, CSM threat detection, or security monitoring dashboards.

# Implementing Security Monitoring with Datadog
## When to Use
- Deploying Cloud SIEM to detect real-time threats across cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Creating custom detection rules for attacker techniques, credential abuse, or anomalous behavior
- Enabling Workload Protection (CSM Threats) to monitor file, process, and network activity on hosts and containers
- Meeting compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA) that mandate centralized log monitoring and alerting
- Building security dashboards to provide SOC visibility into threat signals, investigation context, and response metrics
**Do not use** for endpoint-only monitoring without cloud infrastructure; use a dedicated EDR solution for purely on-premises endpoint detection.
