About Sysdig Secure

Sysdig Secure is a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that provides real-time visibility, threat detection, and response across cloud environments, containers, Kubernetes, and workloads. It leverages deep runtime intelligence captured at the kernel level to prioritize real risks based on what is actually running, distinguishing exploitable vulnerabilities from theoretical ones. The platform unifies prevention, detection, and response, enabling security teams to address critical risks quickly. Sysdig Secure includes features such as vulnerability management, cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection, and cloud detection and response. It also offers AI-powered capabilities through Sysdig Secure AI, which provides agentic AI assistants and a headless cloud security model to automate investigations and remediation. With a focus on runtime insights, Sysdig helps organizations reduce alert noise, uncover hidden attack paths, and respond to threats at machine speed. The platform integrates with major cloud providers and DevOps tools, supporting a shift-left approach to security. Sysdig is recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for CNAPP, and its solutions are used by enterprises to secure cloud-native applications while accelerating innovation.

Challenges It Solves

  • Security teams overwhelmed by alert fatigue

"Proactive Security with Runtime Threat Detection and In-Use Vulnerability Insights"
1) Advanced runtime threat detection and prevention. 2) Runtime vulnerability management offering actionable insights on vulnerable packages in memory and the application stack, identifying exploitable and fixable vulnerabilities present for over XX days. 3) Proactive threat detection, response, and mitigation. 4) Seamless usability and integration. 5) Comprehensive support from solution engineering, customer success, and professional services for smooth onboarding. It's not that I dislike something; rather, I suggest considering additional log sources to reduce overhead. For instance, VPC flow log ingestion could provide valuable port and IP details. 1) Improved visibility across multi-cloud and hybrid microservices. 2) Introducing runtime security in Kubernetes. 3) Integrating security into the DevOps pipeline with both Shift-Left and Shield-Right strategies.

"Sysdig Secure: Exceptional Cloud and Container Posture"
Sysdig CNAPP is a great asset for our organization, helping to uncover vulnerable packages, images, and cloud and container posture issues, plus runtime scanning. The UI and console provide useful information for our ISMS cycle and help meet compliance requirements. So far, we have nothing negative to say. Sysdig helped our ISMS by identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations hidden in containers and Docker pods, which other vulnerability management tools couldn't find. It supports CSPM and has an attractive, user-friendly interface.

General Manager, Offensive Security Research Product & Technology Division
"Robust Cloud Security with Superior Detection, Remediation, and Reporting"
My top three features are: 1) Supports multi-cloud, containers, and Kubernetes, and integrates easily with other systems. 2) Threat detection and response are advanced, covering behavioral threats, file tampering, kernel-level exploits, and system compromise. 3) If a user is compromised, it flags and alerts that user and redirects them to remediate any changes. A missing piece is runtime detection in CSPM for lateral movement within organizational accounts, especially in AWS. We needed: 1) Runtime security for our on-premises open-source Kubernetes and AWS EKS, integrating security into DevOps. 2) Monitoring and security for Huawei EulerOS Linux and Red Hat OpenShift. 3) CNAPP solutions across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. After adopting Sysdig, which combines monitoring and security, we achieved our goals with one solution, reducing our tools from seven to just two, streamlining operations while maintaining compliance.

"Cloud Security Boosted with Real-Time Threat Detection"
Sysdig Secure gives real-time visibility into cloud-native environments with strong runtime threat detection and prevention for containers and Kubernetes. Deployment and integration require a solid level of expertise. It provides container and Kubernetes security, runtime threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance enforcement. The support and solutions from the India SE Lead are highly valued; the combination of Sysdig and the team's expertise is outstanding.

"Comprehensive Security Platform That Stands Out"
We've been using Sysdig Secure for over two months and have gained significant insight into our infrastructure's benchmark standings. I appreciate the runtime threat detection and vulnerability management features. The UI is excellent and provides a clear view of our infrastructure. It also allows custom policies to benchmark our environment. Filters could be more useful on all dashboards. Sysdig Secure helps us with: 1) Runtime threat detection—capturing events of malicious activity in containers or nodes. 2) Vulnerability management—tracking vulnerabilities in images pushed to our ECRs. 3) Compliance posture management—improving scores for benchmarks like CIS EKS and SOC2. It integrates easily into pipelines, using sysdig-cli to catch vulnerabilities in images.

Software Test Engineer
"Powerful Security Insights with Clear Visualizations"
Sysdig Secure provides robust visibility into container and Kubernetes security. I really like its real-time threat detection and intuitive dashboards, which make complex security data easier to grasp—even for documentation and communication. Its integration with CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes is smooth, helping teams maintain secure DevOps workflows. While the tool is packed with features, newcomers, especially those not in DevSecOps, may face a steep learning curve. Some configuration options could be more intuitive, and documentation sometimes trails new feature releases. Sysdig Secure tackles key container and Kubernetes security challenges by offering deep visibility, runtime threat detection, and compliance enforcement. As a Tech Writer, it helps me understand and document security workflows clearly. The detailed event data, visual insights, and audit trails make it easier to produce accurate, user-friendly content, which aids internal teams and improves end-user documentation, enhancing knowledge transfer and reducing misconfigurations.

"All-in-One Visibility Across Cloud, Kubernetes, and Containers in Multi-Cloud"
Sysdig Secure offers unified visibility across multi-cloud environments, Kubernetes cluster monitoring, and DevOps pipeline security, all in one platform. Its seamless integration with AWS and Azure gives us accurate asset visibility, real-time threat detection, and actionable remediation via Sysdig Sage AI, all while maintaining compliance at scale. Currently, agentless Windows VM scanning isn't available, and agent-based scanning only supports Windows Server 2019 and 2022. We aimed to bring runtime security to our EKS and AKS clusters, and now we can detect and prevent malicious activity as well as manage vulnerabilities for both hosts and containers in real time.
D
Director
"Advanced Threat Detection Meets Compliance: A Winning Combo"
Our top three favorites with Sysdig Secure are: 1) Seamless integration with our AWS org via Terraform, modularly covering CSPM, CIEM/CDR, and agentless VM scanning for containers and workloads. 2) Effortless runtime detection and alert workflow configuration. 3) CWPP protection for Linux and EKS nodes. A missing piece is the ability to run on-demand vulnerability assessments on compute instances. Sysdig Secure effectively meets our CNAPP needs across AWS and GCP, giving us precise, current asset inventory and security posture management while various project teams use different resources.
S
SOC and Endpoint Lead
"Top-Notch Real-Time Security Monitoring for Kubernetes"
Sysdig Secure delivers outstanding immediate visibility into cloud-native and container setups, particularly for Kubernetes workloads. Its live threat detection, vulnerability scanning, and compliance tracking are remarkably effective at pinpointing and prioritizing genuine security concerns. Although the platform excels in cloud-native security, configuring it initially can be tricky, especially for those unfamiliar with Kubernetes or container security. It resolves the challenge of protecting cloud-native environments by consolidating real-time threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance monitoring into one solution.
