Datadog, a cloud monitoring-as-a-service provider, has purchased security testing software company
Hdiv Security for an undisclosed sum. The transaction is expected to close by the end of September 2022.
This is technology M&A deal number 440 that MSSP Alert and sister site
ChannelE2E have covered so far in 2022.
Datadog will integrate Hdiv's application security capabilities into its Cloud Security Platform, the company said. In doing so, Datadog can help developers track and monitor risks across their applications.
