while CNAPP comes centre stage to provide more comprehensive, unifying context. It’ s not about replacement, though – it’ s about consolidating solutions into a smarter, full life cycle-aware approach that helps teams quickly find and fix the issues that pose the most significant risks. And because of runtime, CNAPP can provide proof of control effectiveness, closing audit gaps that AST alone cannot.
How is Sysdig leveraging AI in their CNAPP solutions today, and what is its role for the future?
At Sysdig, AI is at the heart of how we empower businesses to secure the cloud the right way. Our agentic AI-powered cloud security analyst, Sysdig Sage™, isn’ t simply a chatbot that surfaces alerts – it reasons and acts like an additional, seasoned member of an organisation’ s security team.
Ultimately, AI is only as powerful as the data it’ s built on. Sysdig Sage was designed on the industry’ s most extensive runtime dataset, and because Sysdig Sage is trained to do one thing – security – on the best runtime dataset available, it helps teams reduce their mean time to respond by 76 %, cut active vulnerabilities by up to 98 %, and give back 10 hours per person each month.
Today, Sysdig Sage is fully integrated with our CNAPP and is accelerating teams’ threat investigations and suggesting remediation actions. Looking forward, as AI-powered attacks get faster and more sophisticated, security programmes will need to operate at machine speed. I see AI already becoming an indispensable teammate for defenders, automating repetitive work and empowering teams to make confident, high-impact decisions in real time.
What success stories have you seen when organisations adopt your CNAPP approach?
The value of the Sysdig CNAPP isn’ t just stronger security, but the ability to innovate without compromise. Of the many powerful metrics and success stories we’ ve shared, three stand out: BigCommerce, Neo4j and Syfe.
BigCommerce came to Sysdig for help protecting the thousands of containerised workloads that it deploys to power its global e-commerce platform. By consolidating multiple tools into one with our CNAPP and reducing their vulnerability noise by more than 80 %, they were able to give their developers more
clarity and production context so they could move fast and keep their environments secure.
Neo4j, a leading graph database company, took on a different challenge: using Sysdig to scale its security globally. With Sysdig’ s runtime insights, they cut threat investigation times from hours to minutes and gained comprehensive visibility across their multi-cloud environment. Ultimately, this made for stronger alignment and collaboration across their security and engineering teams.
Syfe, a digital investment platform, partnered with us for security that kept pace with its rapid innovation. By consolidating their tools with the Sysdig CNAPP, they eliminated blind spots across their AWS workloads and cut costs by replacing multiple tools with a single, unified platform. With Sysdig, Syfe was able to spend 75 % less time on security and compliance and up to 95 % less time on manual rule updates, freeing engineers to focus on product delivery.
Across these stories – and others I’ ve seen while at Sysdig, the outcomes are consistent: fewer active vulnerabilities, faster detection and response and significant time savings. Perhaps most important, though, is that Sysdig helps unify cross-functional teams and turns potential friction into collaboration. To me, that kind of culture shift is priceless.
