What is Application Security Management in Datadog?
Application Security Management (ASM) detects and can block application-layer attacks - like SQL injection or cross-site scripting - by observing requests at runtime using the same tracing instrumentation already deployed for APM.
Because it reuses existing APM instrumentation rather than requiring a separate agent, security findings appear correlated with the same traces, services, and infrastructure context engineers already use for performance debugging.
It also covers vulnerability detection in application dependencies (open-source libraries), surfacing known CVEs affecting the exact services running them, tied to that service's real traffic and exposure.
ASM detects attacks by observing requests using:
ASM also covers vulnerability detection in:
