Challenge	Glovo, an on-demand delivery service, was facing the challenge of securing their cloud infrastructure with limited resources. As the company grew its feature set and AWS cloud environment, Eloi Barti, Head of Platform Security at Glovo, wanted to scale security at the same rate. To do so, Barti sought to bring a culture of security to the forefront for engineering teams. However, when it came to security, Barti said Glovo used several different tools, and engineers didn’t know which security tool to look into when an incident occurred and required investigation. Engineers had to search through the various tools, quickly acclimate themselves to the context the tool provided, and manually correlate disjointed fields to understand if alerts were false positives or true security incidents.

Solution	To address its needs, Glovo chose Datadog Cloud Security Management. With Datadog, Glovo engineers were able to get unified visibility into the health, performance, and security of its applications—all in one place. “The security team scaled quickly by leveraging the data pipelines already built out by the SRE team, integrating security into existing workflows and receiving security alerts in real time,” Barti said. Datadog Cloud Security Management enables better collaboration across Glovo when detecting security incidents or deviations from security policies. For example, Glovo was able to increase the percentage of resources adhering to their deployment process from 70 percent to 99 percent within a few months of deploying Cloud Security Management. Additionally, they were able to integrate Cloud Security Management with AWS CloudTrail to scan audit logs from their EC2 instances to quickly identify misconfigurations.
