Overview

Sysdig's Cloud Detection & Response (CDR) is engineered to provide real-time detection, investigation, and response to threats within cloud environments. Traditional security approaches often struggle with the speed and complexity of cloud attacks, which can unfold in mere minutes. Sysdig addresses this challenge by offering a solution that combines rapid detection with precise response capabilities, ensuring organizations can protect their cloud assets effectively.

Features and Capabilities

• Real-time Threat Detection: Utilizes the open-source Falco engine for customizable detection rules, providing immediate detection across Linux and Windows servers, containers, Kubernetes, cloud logs, and serverless functions.
• **Accelerated Cloud Investigations: **Reduces incident analysis time to approximately 5 minutes by offering comprehensive, automated context for events. Provides a holistic view of the attack kill chain with extensive coverage for cloud services, identities, and workloads across various environments.
• **Automated Threat Response: **Enables swift responses to threats in cloud or container environments through flexible, automated response options.
• **Cloud Identity Insights: **Correlates identity activity patterns with workload exploits to detect compromised identities, facilitating the early detection and prevention of privilege escalation and account compromise.
• **Enhanced Drift Control: ** Prevents common runtime attacks by dynamically blocking executables that were not part of the original container.
• **Integration with Cloud Services: **Extends detection capabilities beyond workload agents to include cloud services, GitHub, and Okta logs, offering a comprehensive security posture.
• **Attack Chain Visualization: **Provides dynamic views of relationships between resources, aiding in understanding the kill chain and potential lateral movements within the cloud environment.
• **Investigation Workflow Optimization: **Centralizes, enriches, and correlates identities to events, enhancing collaboration between security and platform teams, and streamlining the investigation process.
