Detect runtime threats in Python Lambda functions with Datadog AAP


Summary

Datadog’s App and API Protection (AAP) now provides in-process security monitoring for Python AWS Lambda functions by integrating directly into the application runtime via tracing libraries.

By monitoring execution paths and authentication events, AAP helps security teams distinguish between benign traffic and true exploits with much greater precision.
