The monitoring software provider’s attempt to acquire a cloud protection specialist underscores a period of intense consolidation in the observability sector. Datadog recently offered nearly $4B to purchase Upwind Security, a cloud cybersecurity startup, to expand its own security capabilities and tools.
The bid for the startup was disclosed by reporters Aaron Holmes and Valida Pau. The move comes as demand for cloud security services booms, with enterprises seeking more integrated ways to protect their virtual infrastructure.
