Sysdig Launches Runtime Insights Partner Ecosystem to Combat Active Cloud Risk and Stop Attacks

The company’s collaboration with industry-leading solutions helps customers strengthen cloud security operations

SAN FRANCISCO – May 2, 2024 – Sysdig, the leader in cloud security powered by runtime insights, today announced the launch of the company’s Runtime Insights Partner Ecosystem, recognizing the leading security solutions that combine with Sysdig to help customers prioritize and respond to critical security risks. With Sysdig, ecosystem partners leverage Sysdig’s runtime insights to help organizations harden defenses, identify active cloud risks, stop attacks, and streamline cloud security from development through production.

Attacks in the cloud are fast and sophisticated. In just 10 minutes, threat actors can inflict damage. To secure innovation in the cloud, organizations must be able to prioritize their most critical risks and stay ahead of evolving threats. Responding at the speed of the cloud requires real-time insights that bolster vulnerability management, posture management, entitlement management, and threat detection and response.

Empowering Partners with Runtime Insights

“Continuously securing cloud-native environments requires accurate real-time insights at every stage of the cloud life cycle,” said Phil Williams, SVP of Corporate Development at Sysdig. “No single vendor can deliver this value – it requires powerful integrations between leading cloud and application security companies. By delivering a seamless, unified security experience, Sysdig and its partners bolster cloud security programs and foster improved collaboration to keep cloud environments safe.”

The Four Pillars of the Sysdig Runtime Insights Partner Ecosystem

Vulnerability Management: Runtime insights help Sysdig partners reduce vulnerabilities by up to 95%, boost developer productivity with actionable insights, and prioritize the most critical security issues by focusing on what’s in use and exploitable in production.

Entitlement Management: 98% of cloud permissions go unused, leaving a large surface area for exploitation. Sysdig helps partners close permissions gaps in minutes by identifying inactive users and identities with excessive permissions. Comprehensive entitlement management leveraging runtime insights enables organizations to gain greater visibility into cloud identities, quickly enforce least privilege access, simplify compliance with identity and access management requirements, and eliminate excessive entitlements using recommended access policies based on in-use permissions.

Threat Detection and Response: Traditional security measures are ineffective given the dynamic and distributed nature of modern applications. Real-time Sysdig detections help next-generation security information and event management (SIEM); security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR); and extended detection and response (XDR) partners incorporate the information they need to respond quickly to cloud threats. By correlating activity across containers, cloud services, servers, and identities, Sysdig helps reveal active threats, such as lateral movement, at cloud speed.

Posture Management: Static scanning for misconfigurations is not enough to prevent cloud attacks. Sysdig partners help prevent cloud breaches and prioritize the most significant cloud risks using runtime insights. With Sysdig, partners seamlessly triage risks, enhance mitigation effectiveness, and enrich existing customer workflows to bolster security strategy and posture with the power of real-time context.
