Sysdig

Sysdig sells cloud security software built around runtime data: it records live system calls at the kernel level to see which processes are really running, rather than inferring risk from configuration alone. The company is based in the United States and was started in 2013 by Loris Degioanni, who earlier co-created the Wireshark network analyser. Its tools are aimed at security and platform teams running workloads in containers and public clouds.

What Sysdig offers

• Sysdig Secure — a cloud-native application protection platform covering workload protection, posture management, identity and entitlement checks, vulnerability management, and threat detection and response.
• Sysdig Secure AI — AI agents that investigate and rank alerts and act on threats inside the tools a security team already uses.
• Sysdig Monitor — monitoring and troubleshooting for Kubernetes and cloud-native applications.
• Falco — the open source runtime security project Sysdig began, now a graduated Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, with extra detection rules for enterprise users.
• Threat research — a research team that tracks new cloud attack campaigns and turns its findings into detection skills for the platform.

Who it works with

Sysdig serves organisations running containers, Kubernetes and cloud services, and names BigCommerce as a customer.
