About Sysdig
Sysdig is a security vendor built around the idea that cloud security starts at runtime. Its platform gives teams real-time visibility into containers, Kubernetes, identities, workloads and cloud services, so they can prioritize critical risks and detect active threats.
The core product, Sysdig Secure, unifies prevention, detection and response, and a companion monitoring product covers performance. Solutions cover a cloud-native application protection platform, cloud detection and response, cloud workload protection, vulnerability management, posture management, identity entitlement management, container and Kubernetes protection, threat detection on servers, scanning of infrastructure as code, data security posture management and AI workload security.
An AI layer is offered in several modes: a headless option to power your own coding agents, agentic AI that works toward set goals, and a GenAI assistant in the workflow. Sysdig also supports on-premises cloud security and is sold commercially, with a pricing page and a threat research team.
