Lumen Technologies Standardizes Security Telemetry on Datadog
Lumen Technologies, a communication services organization in the United States, uses Infrastructure Monitoring from Datadog to support detection engineering for detection engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Risk and compliance | Detection engineers work from the same Infrastructure Monitoring record for security telemetry |
| Risk and compliance | Security telemetry can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
| Capability | Detection engineering stays visible to adjacent teams through Infrastructure Monitoring |
Story
Lumen Technologies is based in the United States and runs communication services operations at a scale where security telemetry cannot live in side channels. Detection engineers were reconciling competing copies of the same work, which slowed detection engineering and hid who owned the next step.
The company runs detection engineering on Datadog, with Infrastructure Monitoring as the product detection engineers actually open. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. For Lumen Technologies, that means detection engineers can open one workflow, see security telemetry, and let neighboring teams join without inventing a parallel stack.
Public materials confirm the companies and products. They do not always publish a single verified KPI for this pairing, so the outcome here is operational: clearer ownership, fewer stalled handoffs, and a shared record for security telemetry.
