Story
Information Technology work at Datadog spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Access control was splitting across regional habits. IAM and helpdesk asked for a shared way to run identity operations without freezing local judgment.
Proofpoint (Information Protection) is what they standardized on. Proofpoint focuses on human-centric cybersecurity, especially email threat protection, data loss prevention, and awareness training. Datadog uses it as the system of record for access control, with IAM and helpdesk as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
