Overview

Sysdig's Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution enhances cloud security by integrating runtime insights to identify, prioritize, and remediate misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. Unlike traditional CSPM tools that rely solely on static assessments, Sysdig CSPM combines real-time context with static checks to provide a dynamic and comprehensive view of cloud risks. This approach enables organizations to proactively address evolving threats and maintain a robust security posture across their cloud environments.

Features and Capabilities

• Cloud Attack Graph: Visualizes and prioritizes the most critical cloud risks by correlating assets, activities, and vulnerabilities. This graphical representation helps in understanding potential attack paths and focusing remediation efforts effectively.
• End-to-End Visibility: Offers a comprehensive and dynamic perspective of cloud resources through an AI-driven inventory, enhanced by runtime insights. This ensures that security teams have up-to-date information on their cloud assets and configurations.
• Agentless and Agent-Based Deployments: Combines the ease of agentless scanning with the depth of agent-based monitoring. This hybrid approach covers a wide range of use cases, providing flexibility and thorough visibility into cloud environments.
• Graph Search and Attack Path Analysis: Identifies hidden attack paths by correlating assets and activities, allowing security teams to visualize risks and exploitable links across resources. Real-time detections reveal active lateral movements, enabling prompt intervention.
• Dynamic Inventory Search and 360° Resource View: Facilitates the search for compromised resources by combining various findings. For instance, security teams can query for publicly exposed storage buckets that violate specific compliance standards, gaining a holistic view of critical cloud resources.
• Risk Insights Customization: Allows organizations to tailor risk assessments by combining runtime insights, such as in-use vulnerabilities and permissions, with static evaluations. This customization helps in prioritizing risks that are most relevant to the specific environment.
• Real-Time Visibility: Continuously monitors cloud security controls, detects configuration changes, and identifies misconfigurations to prevent drift across multiple cloud accounts. This real-time visibility is crucial for maintaining an up-to-date security posture.
• Shared Policy Model Using OPA: Utilizes Open Policy Agent (OPA) to unify compliance requirements and security controls into a single, shared policy model. This ensures consistent policy enforcement across various environments.
• IaC Security for Cloud and Kubernetes: Prevents misconfigurations and enforces remediation of excessive permissions by providing recommended identity and access management policies. Automatically generates suggested configuration changes to infrastructure-as-code artifacts, streamlining the remediation process.
• Runtime Insights: Provides real-time insights into in-use packages and risks, enabling organizations to focus on the most critical vulnerabilities and reduce noise from less relevant issues.
• Cloud Detection & Response: Safeguards against cloud-based threats with comprehensive detection capabilities, ensuring that potential attacks are identified and addressed promptly.
• Vulnerability Management: Focuses on real risks by reducing vulnerability noise through runtime intelligence, allowing security teams to prioritize and remediate effectively.
• Permissions & Entitlements: Provides visibility into cloud identities and manages permissions, ensuring that access controls are appropriately configured and enforced.
