As cloud environments continue to expand, so do the threats targeting them. In today’s fast-paced digital world, attacks on cloud infrastructure happen within 10 minutes, leaving traditional security tools struggling to keep up. With more than 40% of companies experiencing a cloud breach and over 80% of data breaches involving data stored in the cloud, there is a critical need for real-time threat detection and response. Sysdig addresses this urgent challenge with a built-for-cloud, end-to-end Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that delivers unmatched visibility and control over cloud environments.
Dan K Anderson, a CISO and vCISO with deep cloud security experience, underscores the issue: “The cloud is dynamic, and attackers move fast. What’s needed is a solution that not only detects threats in real time but also integrates seamlessly into both prevention and response workflows. Sysdig has cracked that code by leveraging runtime insights, giving organizations a fighting chance in an environment where every second counts.”
Multi-step reasoning: Peel back the layers of cloud threats through in-depth conversations. Start with a simple question and ask follow-up questions to dive deeper and gain a clearer understanding of security events
“In the cloud, seconds matter. Sysdig is designed to give security teams the real-time visibility and context they need to detect and respond to threats at cloud speed. We’re proud to be the go-to platform for organizations that operate at scale in the cloud, helping them secure what matters most,” said Loris Degioanni, Founder and CTO of Sysdig.
Sysdig’s CNAPP platform combines prevention, detection, and response, ensuring that security teams can protect cloud workloads without slowing down innovation.
Sysdig offers a unified cloud security platform that provides end-to-end protection for cloud-native applications. By integrating runtime insights with advanced machine learning, Sysdig enables security teams to detect threats in real time, harden cloud environments, and streamline incident response. The platform’s capabilities extend across cloud providers, containers, and Kubernetes, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
A key differentiator for Sysdig is its open-source foundation with Falco, the CNCF-graduated standard for cloud threat detection. Falco’s runtime insights allow Sysdig to prioritize critical vulnerabilities and provide precise detection of active risks. Sysdig’s newly launched AI-powered cloud security analyst, Sysdig Sage, builds on this by offering contextualized security recommendations, guiding users through complex investigations with human-like interactions and multi-step reasoning.
Sysdig’s customers benefit from reduced operational overhead, better security outcomes, and significant tool consolidation. By offering real-time visibility and integrating with existing cloud and security stacks, Sysdig empowers organizations to stay ahead of cloud threats while maintaining the agility needed for continuous innovation.
“Sysdig has completely transformed how we manage cloud security. The combination of runtime visibility and advanced threat detection has allowed us to reduce alert noise by 95% and prioritize vulnerabilities that actually pose a risk. The platform’s ability to integrate seamlessly across our multi-cloud environment has been a game-changer for us,” said the CISO of a global telecommunications company.
