Falco Feeds extends the power of Falco by giving open source-focused companies access to expert-written rules that are continuously updated as new threats are discovered.
Today, we’re launching Sysdig Secure AI, an extension of the Sysdig Secure platform that equips your organization with an expert AI security team. Secure AI packages Sysdig’s runtime intelligence and years of expertise to empower AI agents to run cloud security for you. We’re changing how security operates to stay ahead of attackers who have gone AI-first.
Earlier this year, Anthropic’s Claude Mythos showed the security world how frontier AI models can autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities, including weaknesses that sat unnoticed in mature codebases for years. Models with advanced reasoning capabilities are multiplying, and skills once reserved for elite threat actors are becoming available to attackers of every skill level.
You can see the consequences on the Zero Day Clock, which tracks how long it takes attackers to begin exploiting a newly discovered vulnerability. In 2018, the average was over two years. Today, it’s a matter of hours. Once an exploit is available, AI agents can carry out every step of the attack on their own, deciding and executing in real time.
Security teams have always lived with a gap between finding risk and fixing it. Investigate the finding, determine who needs to be notified, assign the fix, follow up. The gap was survivable when exploitation took months. Today, the time to close it has collapsed, and no amount of hiring can make human teams fast enough to beat an exploit that lands the same day the CVE drops.
Introducing Sysdig Secure AI
Sysdig Secure AI is the agentic AI layer built on our CNAPP, Sysdig Secure, enabling an expert team of AI agents to run cloud security under your direction. The agents do everything from investigating incidents, hunting threats, generating fixes, and containing active risks, at the same speed that attacks move.
Here is what that means in practice. Secure AI takes Sysdig’s rich data and runtime insights and packages it so AI can act on it accurately. The agents, Sysdig’s or your own, run complete workflows rather than stopping at recommendations, carrying fixes through until they are done. Your team sets the objectives and approves important decisions, while the agents handle the legwork, making the routine calls along the way. Every action is recorded with the reasoning behind it, so you can always see what an agent did and why, and show it to an auditor or the board.
We think of it as a role change. Security teams stop being operators who drive every step manually and become orchestrators who direct the work. The platform, telemetry, and trust model stay the same. The AI agents do the heavy lifting, much faster than any human team.
You choose how AI runs your defense
Organizations and even teams within the same organization are in widely different places with AI, and care about different things, so Secure AI personalizes to you. It offers three ways to work, and however you choose, the agents learn your environment and adapt to what matters for your business.
For teams that want the guided path, Agentic AI lives inside the Sysdig UI. You choose the outcomes that define what good looks like, and Agentic AI turns that into a plan to get you there. The agents run the workflows, walking you through each step in a single guided experience instead of a maze of dashboards and findings. Skilled agents cover the core security workflows: the Vuln Agent drives vulnerability remediation end to end, from investigation to the fix, while the SOC Agent investigates threats the way a seasoned analyst would. The Posture Agent, Risk Agent, and Response Agent round out the team, covering the full security lifecycle from prevention to response.
For teams already working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, Headless Cloud Security brings Sysdig’s intelligence directly into those tools. Your coding agents become security experts. You build the workflows that fit your organization, and fixes happen right where the code lives. We introduced Headless Cloud Security recently, and you can read the full story here.
And for those used to the traditional Sysdig experience, the GenAI Assistant is the easiest on-ramp. Ask about anything you see, in plain language, and get a clear answer, the context behind it, and recommended next steps.
These modes share the same runtime intelligence and context, so work can move between them naturally. Picture a security engineer who sets a goal in Agentic AI: reduce exposure, with thousands of open vulnerabilities in the way. Agentic AI cuts through them in seconds, surfacing the ones with real runtime exposure, and opens the ticket for the fix, work that would take a human team days. Then the work moves to where the fix lives: the code. The same engineer picks up that same ticket in Claude Code, where the remediation skill generates the pull request right in their repo. Secure AI gives your team the flexibility to work with the mode that best suits the task at hand and matches their AI maturity.
Agents you can trust to act
With Secure AI, everything starts with data. AI agents are only as good as the data they act on, and Secure AI runs on runtime intelligence that reaches all the way down to the kernel level. Agents see malicious behavior in real time, what is actually running, what is exposed, and what is exploitable in your environment. Sysdig’s deep, contextual insights and telemetry ensure agents only act on high-fidelity signals.
Even with the best data, agents need to know how to act on it. Secure AI packages years of Sysdig’s security expertise, encoding it into the agents and the skills they run on to guide core cloud security workflows. Your agents operate like experts on day one, whether they’re Sysdig’s agents in the UI or your own coding agents running our skills.
From there, they keep improving with time. Our agents build a persistent memory of your environment, learning what is normal and what the business cares about most. Over time they come to know which resources are most critical and how much risk you’re willing to carry, so each interaction sharpens the next.
Through it all, Secure AI operates inside guardrails you define. High-impact actions come to your team first, and every action leaves a full audit trail. Agents earn the trust to act for you by acting on real data, with real expertise, inside the boundaries you drew.
Same team, ten times the work
All of this adds up to a very different week for your team. Take a single vulnerability investigation. Today, it occupies three skilled analysts for about 45 minutes each, gathering context, tracking down owners, and deciding what actually needs to happen. With Secure AI, one analyst closes it out in under 15 minutes because the agents have already done the digging, the correlating, and the prioritizing by the time a human looks at it.
Now multiply that across everything your team touches. Work that used to consume the week, like sorting alerts and chasing fixes across teams, happens in minutes. A team that could handle a few investigations a day can handle ten times as many with the people it already has, and those people spend their time on the decisions that actually need them.
And when the quarter ends and leadership asks whether the company is safer than it was, the answer stops being a slide full of activity. Secure AI tracks progress against the outcomes you select, so you can show exactly how metrics like coverage, exposure time, and SLA adherence have moved.
Put AI on defense
Attackers were the first to put AI to work. Secure AI is how defenders stay ahead, with agents that find and fix risks faster than attackers can exploit them, grounded in Sysdig’s deep runtime intelligence. The teams that put agents on defense will be the ones ready to adapt to what comes next.
