US based Datadog unveils new AI security tools to tackle emerging risks at DASH 2025
Datadog, the New York-based
cloud monitoring
and security company, announced a series of new tools on June 10 to help businesses identify and resolve security threats in their artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The unveiling took place on the opening day of
DASH Conference 2025
, Datadog's annual two-day flagship event.
With AI becoming central to how software is developed and operated, Datadog is seeking to play a leading role in ensuring that businesses can safely adopt the technology. The company introduced several products aimed at improving observability, developer productivity, and security across enterprise AI environments.
One of the highlights of the launch was
Bits AI
, a suite of intelligent agents designed to automate key tasks across site reliability engineering (SRE), security operations, and software development. The agents are capable of troubleshooting incidents, managing alerts, and recommending fixes, reducing the burden on human teams.
Also introduced were new capabilities such as GPU monitoring, AI agent monitoring, and the APM Investigator, each aimed at helping enterprises optimise performance, control costs, and detect latency bottlenecks.

'We can all agree that change is happening much faster today with AI than ever before,' said Olivier Pommel, co-founder and CEO of Datadog.
'Our job at Datadog is to make sure that you can tame that complexity, that you can get those risks out of the way, so that you can happily and productively ride those technology waves all the way to success.'
Pommel highlighted that Datadog is making substantial investments in research and development to keep up with the rapid advancements in AI.
One such result is a new AI model named
TOTO
, created by Datadog's AI Lab for time series analysis. The company is releasing it as open-weight on the Hugging Face platform to foster transparency and innovation.
Alexey, co-founder of Datadog, said the new solutions were designed to enhance the day-to-day experience of developers and engineers. 'We ask ourselves, how can we apply these new techniques to make a difference in your daily work?' he said.
In addition, Datadog announced a voice interface for its
oncall
platform to streamline incident response for support teams. The company also spotlighted its expanding partnerships with AI pioneers such as OpenAI and Cursor, with plans to embed more third-party agents into enterprise workflows.
A key concern addressed at the conference was the security challenges unique to AI-native applications. As AI systems increasingly act autonomously—writing code, making decisions, and interacting with other software—they introduce new vulnerabilities that traditional security tools struggle to detect.
'AI has exponentially increased the ever-expanding backlog of security risks and vulnerabilities organisations deal with,' said Prashant Prahlad, Vice President of Security Products at Datadog. 'This is because AI-native apps are not deterministic; they're more of a black box and have an increased surface area that leaves them open to vulnerabilities like prompt or code injection.'
To mitigate these risks, Datadog unveiled tools across three core areas: development, application usage, and real-time operations. These include a code security feature that scans external code for hidden threats and suggests fixes using AI, and a
LLM Observability
tool that tracks unusual behavior in large language models.
The Cloud Security module now ensures compliance with standards like those from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), while a sensitive data scanner prevents personal data from being accidentally included in AI training datasets.
To protect live systems, Datadog also launched the
Bits AI security analyst
, which helps teams swiftly investigate alerts and anomalies, providing actionable insights to reduce both risk and downtime.

India-US trade deal: Donald Trump administration may cut tariff to below 20%; putting India in favourable position against other countries
This is an AI image. United States is working toward an interim trade agreement with India that could reduce proposed tariffs to below 20%, giving the country a more favorable position compared to other countries in the region. Unlike many nations, India is not expected to receive a formal tariff hike notice this week, and the agreement may be announced through an official statement, Bloomberg reported, quoting sources. The proposed interim trade deal between the two nations would allow both the sides to continue negotiations, giving India time to address unresolved issues before a broader agreement expected later this year, the source added. India, US near trade deal. What happens next if New Delhi joins Trump's shortlist? The planned agreement is likely to set a baseline tariff of under 20%, down from the 26% initially proposed, with provisions to allow further adjustments as part of a final pact. However, the exact timeline for the interim deal remains uncertain. If finalised, India would likely join a select group of nations that have reached trade arrangements with the Trump administration. In contrast, several other countries were hit with surprise tariff hikes of up to 50% this week, ahead of the August 1 deadline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 기미, 레이저말고 이렇게 해보세요 에스테틱최원장 Undo India is pushing for a more favourable deal than the one signed with Vietnam, which included 20% tariffs. Vietnam, caught off guard by the high rate, is now seeking a revision. So far, only the UK has officially signed trade deals with the Trump administration. Earlier on Thursday, Trump told NBC News that he is considering imposing blanket tariffs of 15% to 20% on most trading partners who haven't yet received specific rates. Currently, the baseline tariff for most US trade partners stands at 10%. For Asian countries, announced rates so far include 20% for Vietnam and the Philippines, and as high as 40% for Laos and Myanmar. Despite being among the earliest to initiate trade discussions this year, India-US relations have shown recent tensions. While Trump indicates an imminent agreement, he has also suggested additional tariffs regarding India's BRICS membership. An Indian negotiation team is expected to visit Washington soon to push forward trade talks. India has already made its final offer to the Trump administration and outlined its non-negotiable positions. The key sticking points remain, including the US demand for India to allow genetically modified (GM) crops, something New Delhi has firmly opposed, citing concerns for farmers, while the other unresolved issues include agricultural non-tariff barriers and regulatory hurdles in the pharmaceutical sector, the source added.

GST notices based on UPI data: Tax department
BENGALURU: Following reports of notices issued to small traders by the Commercial Tax Department, the state government clarified on Friday that the action was based on data collected from Unified Payments Interface (UPI) service providers to ensure compliance with Goods and Services Tax (GST) laws. Under the GST Act, in force since July 1, 2017, suppliers with an annual turnover exceeding Rs 40 lakh (for goods) or Rs 20 lakh (for services) are required to register for GST. This turnover includes both taxable and exempt goods and services, although tax is applicable only on taxable items. The department said while essential items like bread are exempt from GST, packaged snacks attract a 5% tax. It said UPI-based transaction data from 2021–22 to 2024–25 showed that many traders had received over Rs 40 lakh via UPI alone, excluding cash and other payment methods, indicating even higher total turnover. Based on this data, the department issued notices to traders. ENS

US state department layoffs: Trump administration orders workforce reduction; over 1300 employees affected
The headquarters of the Department of State (AP image) The US State Department on Friday (local time) laid off more than 1,300 employees as part of the Trump administration's latest move to cut its American workforce by about 15%. This is part of a broader effort to reorganize the department. According to a notice sent to State department employees, the layoffs include 1107 civil service employees and 246 foreign service officers. Overall, nearly 3000 people are expected to leave. The department is also rearranging the organizational structure of staff. These layoffs, officially called a 'reduction-in-force' or RIF, have been planned for months. Officials sent the reorganization plan to Congress in March, saying the cuts were necessary to remove duplicate offices and focus on the department's core responsibilities. However, critics argue the cuts will hurt the State Department's ability to work. All Democratic members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday opposing the layoffs. "During a time of increasingly complex and wide-spread challenges to U.S. national security, this administration should be strengthening our diplomatic corps—an irreplaceable instrument of U.S. power and leadership—not weakening it," the senators wrote. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2 BHK homes starting at ₹ 72.6 Lakh at Mahindra Happinest Tathawade . Mahindra Happinest Tathawade Get Quote Undo "However, RIFs would severely undermine the Department's ability to achieve U.S. foreign policy interests, putting our nation's security, strength, and prosperity at risk," the letter added, as reported by news agency CBS. Foreign service officers who received layoff notices will leave their jobs in 120 days, while civil service employees will depart in 60 days. The long planned layoffs began just days after the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration's broader plan to slash the size of government workforce, overruling a lower court's order that halted layoff plans at dozens of federal agencies. Department staff were notified about the upcoming layoffs on Thursday afternoon in a message from Deputy Secretary of State Michael Rigas, who thanked departing staff "for their dedication and service to the United States." Some employees were instructed that because of the planned layoffs, they would not be allowed to work remotely on Friday. They were told to report to the office with all department-issued items, including laptops, phones, diplomatic passports, travel cards and other government property. An email explained that badges would be collected during the checkout process and reminded staff to gather any personal belongings beforehand. Diplomats and other staff applauded departing colleagues in emotional scenes at the State Department's Washington headquarters that runs US foreign policy and embassies around the world. The American Foreign Service Association (AFSA), the union representing State Department employees, criticized the move as a 'catastrophic blow to our national interests.' "At a moment of great global instability -- with war raging in Ukraine, conflict between Israel and Iran, and authoritarian regimes testing the boundaries of international order -- the United States has chosen to gut its frontline diplomatic workforce," AFSA said in a statement. "We oppose this decision in the strongest terms," the statement added.
