Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A billing entry showing DATADOG* SECURITY SIEM represents charges for a Datadog Cloud SIEM & Security Platform Subscription, provided by Datadog, Inc. Datadog is an enterprise observability and cybersecurity vendor that helps engineering teams monitor infrastructure performance and investigate security threats. Statement descriptors like DATADOG* SECURITY SIEM, DATADOG INC, or DATADOG NYC appear when a company card is linked to a Datadog organization account that enabled security telemetry.
Unreviewed registry note: This specific charge occurs because Datadog meters Cloud SIEM based on the volume of security logs analyzed by its detection engine. The platform charges roughly $0.20 per gigabyte of analyzed data, alongside any add-on fees for Cloud Security Management or workload protection. If a DevOps engineer or security analyst routes high-volume AWS CloudTrail streams or Okta authentication events into Datadog, billing can escalate quickly at the end of the monthly billing cycle.
