Cloud Detection and Response

Detect, correlate, and respond to cloud threats immediately

Cloud attacks happen fast. When you have minutes to detect and respond to threats, you need actionable information that accelerates your team. Secure your cloud with end-to-end detection, cloud-native context with multi-domain correlation, and definitive response actions.

How Sysdig helps

Security in the cloud, built for the cloud

In the cloud, you only have 5 seconds to detect, 5 minutes to correlate, and 5 minutes to initiate a response to a threat. Traditional endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions lack the critical capabilities to safeguard against multi-dimensional cloud attacks. To outpace attackers, you must have detection and response capabilities purpose-built for the complexity of the cloud.

Detect threats in seconds

Do you know when an attacker is in your cloud estate? Within 5 seconds, you must be able to detect malicious process, file, network and user activity in real time. Built on Falco, the standard for threat detection, Sysdig comes with out-of-box detection for the latest threats, across serverless, containers, Kubernetes, cloud logs and trails.
Get end-to-end visibility and context for cloud attacks

Sysdig leverages deep visibility at runtime and correlates real-time signals, cloud activity, and logs to provide essential context. This context enables teams to understand the criticality of events, and to effectively respond.
Stop threats instantly

Cloud resources are an increasingly attractive target for threat actors to leverage cryptominers and botnets. Sysdig stops common and emerging threats in cloud and container environments, such as backdoors and C&C in compromised images, and cryptojacking. Respond with powerful automated and manual response actions.

If someone is in my system, I want to know immediately, not 15 minutes later after their attack is complete.

Can you detect and respond to threats in under 10 minutes?

According to our latest threat research, it only takes 10 minutes for bad actors to execute an attack in the cloud. The 555 benchmark establishes 5 seconds to detect, 5 minutes to correlate, and 5 minutes to initiate a response to a threat. Security teams must strive to meet this benchmark to stay ahead of modern cloud threat actors.

FAQ

What is cloud detection and response (CDR)?

Cloud detection and response (CDR) enables security teams to protect their cloud applications and infrastructure at runtime and post runtime. CDR capabilities should enable continuous monitoring with real time detections of potential threats, deep context and correlation for investigation, and response countermeasures to eradicate threats.

Why can't we just use our endpoint detection & response (EDR) solution?

EDR solutions are great at protecting endpoint assets, like laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, but they’re not built for the cloud. EDR simply can’t deliver the context, correlation, and continuity needed to stay ahead of attackers in the cloud. Cloud Native CDR solutions are purpose built for the complexities of distributed, immutable, and ephemeral multi-cloud environments.

Is cloud security posture management enough?

Cloud detection and response pairs well with CSPM. Whereas CSPM helps to proactively reduce cloud risk in pre-runtime (what can happen), CDR ensures you have the ability to detect, investigate, and respond to cloud attacker activity in runtime (what is happening right now) and post runtime (what has happened). CSPM is not a replacement for CDR.
