Fortinet Runs Detection Engineering with Datadog
Fortinet, an information technology organization in the United States, uses Bits AI from Datadog to support detection engineering for detection engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Risk and compliance | Bits AI is the governed place detection engineers use for detection engineering |
| Risk and compliance | Fewer stalled items because security telemetry has a clear owner |
| Capability | New joiners can see how detection engineering actually runs |
Story
Fortinet grew security telemetry faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Detection engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Bits AI put detection engineering on Datadog. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. Fortinet keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so detection engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier detection engineering. Security telemetry is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join detection engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
