Generative AI (GenAI) is poised to revolutionize the cloud security posture management (CSPM) space, bringing intelligence, automation, and context to increase the effectiveness of managing cloud risk. Maintaining a robust security posture in the cloud can be challenging as the number of deployed cloud services increases across diverse clouds. Soon, AI-driven CSPM will play a critical role in helping security and cloud teams to keep pace with misconfigurations and compliance gaps.

For the past six years, I’ve had the unique privilege of contributing to and witnessing the evolution of Sysdig Agent. As a Technical Writer, I create educational content that helps Sysdig customers get the most value out of it. The Sysdig Agent, which began as a simple sniffer probing system calls, has transformed into a powerful defender of cyber threats and vulnerabilities, safeguarding workloads across regions—and even underwater in submarines! How cool is that?

A compromise (CVE-2025-30066) was discovered in the popular GitHub Action tj-actions/changed-files on March 14, 2025. It impacted tens of thousands of repositories that use this action to track file changes. This blog will explain how Falco Actions can easily be integrated into your workflows to help detect this CI/CD attack and provide in-depth visibility. Falco Actions is an open-source project that monitors your CI/CD workflows for potential threats in real time, leveraging the OSS tool Falco.

In our first blog post, “Sysdig Secure-Google Chronicle integration – Why, what, and how“, we introduced the idea of connecting both platforms, highlighting their complementary strengths and providing a high-level overview. Now, we’re taking it a step further—moving beyond theory to focus on practical, real-world applications.

Container security has experienced significant transformation over the past decade. From the emergence of foundational tools like Docker to the maturation of orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes, the container security landscape looks different than it did even a few years ago. With Gartner predicting 95% of organizations will be running containerized applications in production by 2028, it’s clear that container security is going to be a key priority for most organizations moving forward.

Are you looking to validate if your cloud services are resilient and adequately secured? Consider the following five cloud security benchmarks to assess your organization’s cloud deployments. CISOs know that their security programs should be data-driven and that metrics are integral to communicating the status of security capabilities to organizational stakeholders, including the executive leadership team and the board of directors.

On April 3, 2025, the National Security Agency and other partner agencies released a critical advisory about DNS and Fast Flux. They even called it a national security threat due to the potential dangers involved. In this article, we’ll go over what Fast Flux is and how Sysdig Secure detects this attack technique. We’ll also cover gathering potential Fast Flux domain names from VirusTotal.

The cloud has become the hub of modern data traffic. It offers organizations of all sizes unprecedented speed, flexibility, and countless collaboration options. However, cybercriminals also know how to exploit the power of the cloud for their own purposes, which is why proven security solutions—and service providers who can implement them quickly and in a customized manner—are in high demand.

It’s been just over a year since open source Falco graduated from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) during KubeCon EU 2024, and the momentum hasn’t slowed down. From advancements in real-time threat response and expanded audit event collection across cloud-native environments, to reaching 150 million downloads and even new open-source technologies like Stratoshark being built on Falco’s libraries, the project continues to evolve rapidly.

In the past year alone, the number of artificial intelligence (AI) packages running in workloads grew by almost 500%. Which is to say: AI is everywhere, and it’s settling in for the long haul. Naturally, as helpful as they are, these AI workloads come with security challenges, including data exposure, adversarial attacks, and model manipulation. So as AI adoption accelerates, security leaders must build an AI workload security program to protect their organizations while enabling innovation.
