Datadog, the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, has purchased Sqreen, a SaaS based security platform that enables enterprises to detect, block and respond to application level attacks. The addition of Sqreen’s application security capabilities will provide development, security and operations teams a platform to deliver and manage applications.

“The application layer is currently one of the most vulnerable and exploitable attack surfaces,” said Olivier Pomel, CEO of Datadog. “In combining Sqreen with Datadog, we plan to close the gap between application developers and security teams and provide our customers robust application security, without the disjointed visibility, high implementation costs and steep learning curve of traditional application security products.”
