US based Datadog unveils new AI security tools to tackle emerging risks at DASH 2025
New York:
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.

Apple adds more safety features for kids on iPhones with iOS 26: Parental permission for new chats, image blurring and more
Apple announced its next generation operating system for iPhones at the recently held Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC). Dubbed iOS 26 (and not iOS 19), the software update brings a unique Liquid Glass interface to Apple iPhone among several new features. With iOS 26, Apple has also updated its child safety features that gives more control to parents over who their kids can communicate with. New parental controls with iOS 26 With iOS 26, when a child wants to talk to someone new through text, they'll need their parent's permission. A request will show up in the Messages app, and parents can tap to allow or block it. Apple is also introducing something called 'PermissionKit.' This will help other apps add similar safety features, so kids can send requests to parents before chatting, following, or adding new people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experts Tested 17 Hearing Aids. Their #1 Pick Will Shock You Undo As per a report by The Verge, developers can request age range information with a new 'Declared Age Range API.' For children under 13, Apple already has strong safety settings like web filters and app limits. Now, similar protections will be added for teens aged 13 to 17. Apple's Communication Safety feature is also getting smarter. If nudity is detected during a FaceTime video call, the system will step in. It will also blur inappropriate images in shared photo albums. With the latest operating system, the App Store is updating its age ratings to be more detailed — with new categories like 13+, 16+, and 18+. Further, the company will allow parents to share a child's age range with the app. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Boeing's share price tanks over 4% after Air India flight crash in Ahmedabad
US aircraft maker Boeing's share price was down over 4.32 per cent on Thursday to $204.77 apiece at 7:17 pm IST, hours after an Air India operated 787 Dreamliner flying the Ahmedabad to London Gatwick Airport flight crashed within minutes of take off in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Boeing's share price was down nearly 8 per cent in pre-market activity on Thursday. The latest crash compounds the US-based jetmaker's woes as it battles scrutiny into its work practices on account of multiple plane crashes as well as whistleblower complaints in the recent past. To be sure, this is reportedly the first ever Dreamliner crash reported across the world. The flight carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members crashed minutes after take off at 1:30 pm. Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun had stepped down in 2024, making way for Kelly Ortberg, amid calls from airlines and regulators to overhaul the aerospace manufacturing giant which was best with a host of issues related to quality and safety. In January 2024, the door of an Alaska Airlines operated Boeing 737 Max jet flew out 9 minutes into a flight, prompting widespread scrutiny into the jetmaker. Taking accountability for the incident, Calhoun told CNBC in an interview he had decided to step down from the helm, adding ' Let's not avoid the call for action. Let's not avoid the need to slow down a bit and let the supply chain catch up.' Interestingly, Calhoun took the helm at Boeing after the ouster of his predecessor Dennis Muilenburg in 2020. Muilenburg struggled to handle the crisis that cropped up following two 737 Max crashes. Following the Alaska Airlines flight incident, America's Federal Aviation Administration halted Boeing's planned expansion of 737 Max jet production. The FAA refused to entertain any requests for a reversal of this order pending the regulator's satisfaction 'that the quality control issues uncovered during this process are resolved.' The Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad is likely to increase the scrutiny on Boeing, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Kristine Liwag. While the best case scenario for Boeing's stock is that the crash may have occurred due to a pilot error, the worst-case scenario could be a system issue, the analyst said, giving a share price target of $200 apiece. RBC Capital analyst Ken Herbert maintained an 'outperform' rating on Boeing's stock with a share price target of $230 apiece. While the implications of the Air India flight crash are yet to be known, they are likely to overshadow Boeing's prospects ahead of the Paris air show. Under current CEO Ortberg, Boeing has embarked on a cost-cutting drive. However, he would not hesitate to add personnel at its defense and commercial aircraft unit, Ortberg said during Boeing's annual general meeting in April. Boeing was engulfed in a controversy brought by a former employee turned whistleblower John Barnett, who was found dead in 2024. The former quality manager at Boeing's North Charleston plant, which built the 787 Dreamliner, retired in 2017 citing health grounds. He alleged later that the workers at the facility were under pressure to fit sub-standard parts to the jets on the production line, the BBC reported. This was done to prevent production delays, he said. He flagged problems with the jet's oxygen systems indicating that one in four breathing masks may fail during an emergency. Since then, several whistleblower's have come forward to flag safety concerns on Boeing jets. In a June 2024 US Senate hearing, Senator's said Boeing under Calhoun faced a 'moment of reckoning' besides being accused of strip mining the company. 'You're cutting corners, you're eliminating safety procedures, you're sticking it to your employees,' Republican senator Josh Hawley said to Calhoun during the hearing.
