Story
Consumer Staples work at US Foods spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Security telemetry was splitting across regional habits. Detection engineers asked for a shared way to run detection engineering without freezing local judgment.
Datadog (Infrastructure Monitoring) is what they standardized on. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. US Foods uses it as the system of record for security telemetry, with detection engineers 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
