In this episode of From The Field, recorded at DASH by Datadog in New York City, KB sits down with both of Datadog’s co-founders.First up is Olivier Pomel, Co-founder and CEO. He talks through the new security launches, including AI Guard and Bits AI for security, and explains why an observability background gave Datadog its right to win in security. He also covers why Datadog rebuilds acquisitions on its own platform instead of bolting them on, and why he expects security tooling to consolidate the way observability did.Then KB is joined by Alexis Lê-Quôc, Co-founder and CTO. He argues that AI has shrunk the gap between disclosure and exploit from weeks to hours. He explains why detection now has to be agentic, and why deciding which assets matter is still a human call. He also makes the case that lasting change comes from the teams on the ground.
