About Sysdig
Sysdig sells cloud and AI security software. Its main platform, Sysdig Secure, is a cloud-native application protection platform that brings together prevention, detection and response for containers, Kubernetes, identities, workloads and cloud services. It also offers AI Defense, which follows AI agents wherever they run, from endpoint to cloud. The company targets security engineers, cloud teams, platform owners, SOC analysts and CISOs. What sets Sysdig apart is its focus on runtime. It captures live system calls at the kernel level, so it sees what is actually running rather than what could be running. This runtime context feeds its AI, helping teams tell what is genuinely exploitable from what is only theoretical risk. Its Threat Research Team has uncovered cloud attacks such as JADEPUFFER and SCARLETEEL, and that knowledge is built into the product. Sysdig also provides headless cloud security so customers can build their own workflows through their own AI agents.
