Datadog Cloud Security Identity Risks vs SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security

Datadog Cloud Security Identity Risks is a cloud infrastructure entitlement management product for finding and reducing identity risks. It scans AWS, Azure, and GCP for lingering administrative privileges, privilege escalation, permission gaps, broad blast radii, and cross-account access. Detections cover users, roles, groups, policies, EC2 instances, and Lambda functions. Access Insights shows which resources an entity can reach and which principals can reach them directly or indirectly. Remediation options include narrower policy suggestions, Datadog Workflows, cloud-console links, Terraform-generated GitHub pull requests, and Jira issues. AWS IAM Access Analyzer can supply unused-access findings for policy recommendations and permission-gap detections. Scanning is agentless, and Datadog says snapshots remain within the customer environment. Standard permission-gap detections cover 90 days; Access Analyzer can use 180- or 360-day periods. CSM Pro costs $10 a month per CSM host, while Enterprise costs $25 a month per host. A 14-day trial covers the product suite.

SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is a paid platform for protecting production workloads, cloud and AI infrastructure, and data stores. It brings together cloud posture, identity, workload, data and AI security capabilities. The platform identifies cloud misconfigurations and compliance gaps, while runtime protections detect threats in containers, virtual machines and AI workloads and help contain attacks and prevent lateral movement. Cloud Data Security scans files at ingestion for known and zero-day threats before execution; SentinelOne says the files are scanned in their existing environment without customer data leaving it. The platform correlates cloud, endpoint and identity telemetry for investigations, using Purple AI and automated workflows to help with response. CSPM resource discovery covers AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba and Oracle Cloud, with agentless connections described for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. It is a hybrid deployment with no free plan, and pricing is available on request. Listed platforms include Android, iOS, API and web.
