WindsurfWindsurf Extends Security Monitoring Across Incident Response
Windsurf, an information technology organization in the United States, uses Security Monitoring from Datadog to support incident response for on-call engineers.
Windsurf folded Security Monitoring into incident response so on-call engineers share one view of log investigation.
“In the United States, on-call engineers already knew where log investigation went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.”
“Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications.”

Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because log investigation has a clear owner |
| Risk and compliance | Security Monitoring is the governed place on-call engineers use for incident response |
| Capability | New joiners can see how incident response actually runs |
Story
Windsurf did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed incident response to move. In the United States, on-call engineers already knew where log investigation went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Security Monitoring from Datadog is now in that path. Datadog is an observability platform that unifies metrics, traces, logs, and security signals for cloud applications. The company treats it as production tooling for incident response, which is why on-call engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Windsurf can show how log investigation is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run incident response on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
