Expanded event and security reporting capabilities are now available with new Bitwarden integrations for CrowdStrike and DataDog. Bitwarden SIEM integrations provide unparalleled oversight and detailed analysis of credential-related activities in your enterprise organization concerning vault access, vault items, and organization administration

CrowdStrike and DataDog are the latest additions to out-of-the-box Bitwarden SIEM integrations like Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Rapid7, Elastic, and Panther to help businesses identify suspicious activity and defend against cyberattacks. 

Why use a SIEM? 

A Security Information and Event Management solution (SIEM) collects information across a variety of ecosystems, environments, applications, and solutions to identify and report on suspicious activity across an organization. This setup ensures that threat insights are not siloed and instead easily consumed by security professionals in one unified dashboard.

SIEM solutions help enterprises protect against unauthorized access and data breaches in the following ways:

  • Advanced threat detection

  • Faster incident response

  • Compliance with regulatory standards

  • Centralized security oversight 

How it works 

CrowdStrike and DataDog integrations pull more than 60 different Bitwarden event types to be analyzed alongside other security events and data sources from your organization. The chosen SIEM tool will then alert IT, DevOps, SRE, and security teams with real time information on Bitwarden user activity, password changes, shared passwords, and credential access. With Bitwarden and DataDog or CrowdStrike, your team gets a full picture of the company’s security posture with AI support for threat investigation.

With the CrowdStrike and DataDog integrations, Bitwarden customers can enjoy an easier setup process than ever before. Simply navigate to the Bitwarden web app Admin Console and select Integrations on the left navigation.
