Innovation demands speed. Security demands precision. Both demand doing it the right way.
In the cloud, every second counts. Developers are releasing features at a relentless pace, fueled by the accelerating race to adopt AI. Infrastructure scales and shifts in real time. And attackers, also strengthened by AI, don’t wait. They exploit the smallest gaps, often before you even know they exist.
For the teams securing and building in the cloud, the pressure is real.
Do you prioritize speed or security? Trust or innovation?
At Sysdig, we believe you don’t have to choose: you can deliver fast and defend what matters — without compromise.
That’s cloud security, the right way.
Why we built Sysdig
From the start, our mission at Sysdig has been simple: give builders and defenders the clarity, control, and speed they need to secure innovation, without compromise.
We knew that traditional security approaches wouldn’t hold up in a cloud-native world. Static snapshots miss what matters. Closed systems hide critical signals. And “good enough” leaves teams guessing. So we built something different, and we built it in the open.
We started with sysdig OSS, the first tool for deep system call-level introspection into containers. We created Falco, now the industry standard for runtime threat detection — and used by 60% of the Fortune 500. Wireshark has deep roots at Sysdig, and with Stratoshark, we’ve extended Wireshark-level visibility into the cloud era.
Why do we build in the open? When logic is transparent, when knowledge is shared, and when the community strengthens each other, defenders can move as fast as attackers. That’s why open innovation isn’t something we just support — it’s a core part of doing cloud security, the right way.
What is cloud security, the right way?
“Cloud security, the right way” is a rallying cry: a call to reject the status quo — to stop settling for “good enough” security in a world where good enough isn’t enough.
It means no guesswork, no black boxes, and real-time security that protects you from prevention to detection and response. There are three core pillars that define cloud security, the right way: agentic AI, open innovation, and runtime insights.
Pillar 1: Agentic AI that understands your environment — and guides action with precision
Good enough AI just flags problems. AI — the right way — understands business context, guides decisions, and takes action.
That’s why, at the heart of our cloud security platform is Sysdig Sage™, our AI cloud security analyst. Powered by the deepest runtime dataset in the industry, Sysdig Sage understands your environment, surfaces critical business risks, and helps you remediate issues in minutes. By combining semantic analysis with intelligent automation, Sysdig Sage filters noise, accelerates critical fixes, and delivers clear, audit-ready insights — reducing risk exposure and reclaiming time for what matters most. Sysdig Sage doesn’t just surface issues; it understands your environment, your risk, and your priorities. It reasons, recommends, and responds. That’s agentic AI in action.
Pillar 2: Open innovation that builds trust — and delivers customizable control
Good enough security hides risks behind black boxes. Open innovation — the right way — earns trust.
That’s why Sysdig was built in the open, with transparency as a core principle. With transparent detection logic and customizable rules, Sysdig gives your teams the power to tailor defenses together. Backed by the global community and the Sysdig Threat Research Team, open innovation doesn’t just earn trust, it puts control back in your hands.
Pillar 3: Runtime insights that surface what’s risky and what’s relevant in real time — and enable you to secure the complete cloud lifecycle
The right way starts at runtime, where real risk reveals itself.
That’s why Sysdig is built on deep runtime insights. While other tools rely on periodic scans, or static posture data, Sysdig anchors on what’s actually happening across your cloud. This lets you detect threats as they unfold, prioritize based on what’s really critical, and stop attacks before they spread.
Our promise to the builders and defenders
Inside Sysdig, we often say, “Security is not a compromise, it’s a promise.” Because this phrase captures exactly what is at stake for all of us.
The promise to do things the right way — even when it’s harder.
The promise to give defenders and builders the tools they need to move forward, with confidence.
The promise to secure every second of innovation — together.
This belief drives every decision we make. And that’s why we’ll never settle for “good enough.”
The right way starts now
For the defenders on the frontlines and the builders shaping what’s next, now is the time for a different standard for cloud security — one built on doing it the right way.
If you believe that there’s a different way to do security, you’re in the right place:
