Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
What it is
Sysdig Secure is a cloud-native application protection platform for cloud environments, containers, Kubernetes, hosts, and serverless workloads. Runtime insights help prioritize risks that are exploitable in a customer's environment. It detects threats in real time using Falco rules, machine learning, and drift control, and offers agent-based and agentless vulnerability scanning that prioritizes vulnerabilities in use. Cloud Attack Graph maps relationships among vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and excessive permissions to show potential attack paths. Sysdig Sage is an AI assistant for security search, vulnerability management, threat investigation, and response. The platform connects to AWS, GCP, and Azure, with documented integrations including Git, Jira, Snyk, Docker Scout, Splunk, Elasticsearch, and Syslog. Sysdig describes support for on-premises, air-gapped, and private cloud environments. Deployment is hybrid, and licensing is based on hosts or compute instances for CSPM. Pricing is by quote, with no price displayed. The documented agent supports Linux distributions and Windows Server 2019 and later; the vulnerability CLI scanner is available for Linux and macOS.
