Key Capabilities / Features

Sysdig is the cloud security solution of choice for enterprises like Comcast, Experian, Goldman Sachs, BigCommerce, and Yahoo! Japan because the platform is proven at a scale and scope unmatched by others. Beyond securing the top cloud providers, the top 10 Sysdig customers operate the largest clouds in the world, each managing 50k-160k servers and 2.5-8million containers.

Sysdig stands out for its use of runtime insights, a vital component necessary to secure cloud-native ecosystems. Sysdig continuously tracks the behavior of applications, containers, hosts, and orchestration platforms, providing immediate visibility and in-depth analysis. These continuous insights allow for early threat detection, anomaly spotting, and behavior analysis, ensuring swift responses to security incidents.

Designed for cloud-native environments, Sysdig empowers teams to tackle the unique challenges posed by containerized and Kubernetes-orchestrated applications. Its integration with cloud-native systems grants granular visibility into containerized workloads, enabling real-time threat detection across containers, hosts, and cloud resources throughout the application lifecycle.

One key strength of the platform lies in its use of machine learning algorithms to enhance alerts with contextual information. By correlating data from various sources like runtime activities, network traffic, and system calls, it delivers comprehensive insights into security incidents. This contextual approach aids in prioritizing and investigating alerts efficiently, reducing both false positives and response times.

Sysdig also establishes baselines for normal application and container behavior, swiftly identifying deviations that could signify security threats. This proactive stance enables the detection of unknown threats, zero-day vulnerabilities, and insider attacks, fortifying your security posture.

In essence, Sysdig Secure's integration of real-time runtime insights with cloud-native security solutions presents a robust defense mechanism tailored for modern cloud environments. Its capabilities in runtime visibility, anomaly detection, end-to-end coverage, and open-source collaboration set it apart, offering a unified platform that simplifies security operations and fortifies cloud-native application security.

How we are different

- End-to-End Cloud Security: In the cloud, attacks happen at warp speed. Effective cloud security requires shifting left, moving security responsibilities upstream into development, while also shielding right, detecting and responding to threats in production in real time. Unfortunately, adopting shift-left with other security platforms drowns development teams in a sea of vulnerabilities and excessive permissions, leaving security teams exposed at runtime. Using patented runtime insights, Sysdig prioritizes active risk, cuts vulnerability noise by 95%, and helps organizations outpace cloud attacks. Ultimately, time is money — Sysdig helps customers spend less time on security and more time building software.

- Unified Platform: With Sysdig, customers are empowered to consolidate the number of tools they use and the amount of time involved in their processes, in turn driving better security outcomes and reducing overhead. One customer, for example, a global leader in the fraud detection and prevention market, Arkose Labs, was able to consolidate six tools by moving to the Sysdig platform. This change netted the company an overall cost savings of more than 20%. In essence, Sysdig helped Arkose Labs save time and money while providing greater protection to applications from build through runtime.

- Built on Open Source Falco and Runtime Insights: Falco, which recently surpassed 100M downloads and achieved graduation in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), is the core engine providing unique runtime insights to the Sysdig platform. For prevention, runtime insights help customers connect the dots across environments and prioritize their most critical security risks. Falco rule libraries provide a deep understanding of what’s happening at runtime and prioritize in-use vulnerabilities. For detection and response, runtime insights power the ability to combat the most advanced threats through adherence to Falco rule sets. Ultimately, runtime insights provide end-to-end security – from prevention to defense – for the software development
