Sysdig

Cloud and AI defense rooted in runtime intelligence

Visit Sysdig

Sysdig is a cloud and AI security platform built on runtime data captured at the kernel level, giving teams visibility into what is actually running in their environments rather than only what is configured or deployed. It addresses the challenge of detecting and responding to threats across cloud infrastructure, containers, Kubernetes, and AI agents, while prioritizing vulnerabilities and risks based on real runtime activity.

The platform includes Sysdig Secure, a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that unifies vulnerability management, threat detection, posture management, and monitoring across containers, Kubernetes, identities, workloads, and cloud services. Sysdig Secure Plus adds AI skills that security teams can run on the platform or headless, while Sysdig AI Defense governs AI agent activity from endpoint to cloud, including agent inventory, spend tracking, action blocking, session replay, and compliance evidence. Additional capabilities include the GenAI Assistant for contextual guidance, Agentic AI for autonomous workflows, and Headless Cloud Security for building custom workflows through external AI agents. The company also maintains the open source Falco and sysdig projects.

Sysdig is aimed at security teams, infrastructure teams, and organizations operating cloud-native and Kubernetes environments, including those adopting AI agents. The platform is offered through Sysdig Secure, Sysdig Secure Plus, and Sysdig AI Defense editions, with AI Defense currently in early access.
