Case Study: AGNC Investment Corp. achieves streamlined IT operations and enhanced security with Datadog

AGNC Investment Corp. streamlines IT operations and enhances security with Datadog

AGNC Investment Corp., a Bethesda-based REIT that invests in agency residential mortgage‑backed securities, faced rising costs and operational complexity from managing a hybrid infrastructure with multiple monitoring tools and a NOC. With about 50 staff and strict compliance and uptime requirements, limited visibility and long MTTD/MTTR hampered its lean IT team's ability to respond quickly and focus on strategic work.

By consolidating monitoring and security on Datadog—using Infrastructure Monitoring, Log Management, Cloud Security Posture Management, Cloud SIEM and Marketplace integrations—AGNC gained real‑time visibility, automated security signal review, and simplified reporting. The result: lower costs, faster troubleshooting, stronger security and compliance, and a lean IT team freed to concentrate on strategic priorities.
