Sysdig Secure is the company's CNAPP, unifying cloud security posture management, vulnerability management, permissions and entitlement management, and runtime threat detection and response in one platform. Powered by the open-source Falco engine, it detects threats in containers, Kubernetes, and cloud workloads in real time and uses runtime context to prioritize the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that are actually in use. Its '555 Benchmark' framing stresses detecting, correlating, and responding to cloud attacks in minutes rather than hours.
Falco is the open-source runtime security engine created by Sysdig and donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, where it became a graduated project with more than 130 million downloads. It taps kernel-level system calls and Kubernetes audit events to detect anomalous and malicious behavior in running containers and hosts in real time, flagging things like shells spawned in containers, unexpected outbound connections, or sensitive file access. As the de facto standard for cloud-native runtime detection, it anchors Sysdig's commercial platform and broader community credibility.
