Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Risk and compliance | Log Management 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
Inside Mailchimp, detection engineering used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Detection engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Mailchimp uses Log Management from Datadog as the working layer for security telemetry. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. The practical change is simple: detection engineering has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Mailchimp gets from Datadog is a durable place to run detection engineering and a way for detection engineers to see the same security telemetry at the same time.
