Datadog named the new product “Bits AI Security Analyst” and announced it as generally available on March 23, 2026 as part of its Cloud SIEM offering. (marketchameleon.com) Datadog says the agent “pairs the expertise of a senior SOC analyst with machine scale and speed” and leverages unified observability telemetry across clouds, identities, EDRs and other data sources to produce context-rich, explained verdicts. (datadoghq.com) The company highlights enterprise controls for deployment, including RBAC and thousands of native integrations inside Cloud SIEM to scale investigations across large environments. (datadoghq.com) Datadog tied Bits to its March 9, 2026 MCP Server launch, which it describes as a purpose-built interface that gives AI agents secure, real-time access to live logs, metrics and traces for debugging and automated action. (markets.financialcontent.com) Bits follows Datadog’s earlier Bits AI SRE release (December 3, 2025) that targeted autonomous incident response for reliability engineers, reflecting a broader Bits AI product line. (enterpriseitworld.com) Datadog notes established scale for security customers—reporting roughly 30,500 total customers as of March 31, 2025 and saying “one-in-four Fortune 500 companies rely on Datadog Security” in the Bits announcement.
