Cloud native monitoring company Sysdig has expanded its flagship Secure DevOps Platform to incorporate full compatibility with Prometheus, making the platform to be “the only enterprise monitoring solution to be fully compatible” with the open source cloud native monitoring tool.

Container security startup Sysdig Inc. said today it’s integrating its platform with the popular open-source monitoring tool Prometheus.

Containers and Kubernetes will take over the world. Over the last year, we have seen competitors partner in an attempt to deliver capabilities similar to Sysdig, but the reality is, these approaches cannot provide the level of visibility and security that we can, even when they use multiple tools.

Sysdig, a San Francisco-based DevOps company, closed a $70 million series E funding round today in order to jump start an aggressive growth plan for capturing early-stage market share, including opening a new office in Japan.

DevOps startup Sysdig has raised $70 million in its Series E round, the company announced Wednesday.

When it comes to software development, containers are taking over the world. San Francisco startup Sysdig has built a thriving business by addressing just those concerns.

Falco, a cloud-native runtime security project, was accepted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as an incubation-level hosted project. Falco provides intrusion and abnormality detection for platforms like Kubernetes, Mesosphere, and Cloud Foundry. Falco first entered the CNCF sandbox in 2018 as a project created by Sysdig to better understand container behavior and help protect container platforms from malicious activity.

Earlier this week Sysdig announced that its open-source container runtime security tool Falco would be joining the CNCF Incubator.

Falco, the open source cloud-native runtime security project originally created by Sysdig, has been accepted as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Incubation-level project. We sat down with Kris Nova, Chief Open Source Advocate at Sysdig and Loris Degioanni, CTO and Founder of Sysdig to understand the evolution of the project.

Cloud-native runtime security project Falco has joined the incubator of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, after frolicking in the organisation’s sandbox since October 2018. Falco is meant to reduce the risk of security incidents by informing about unexpected behaviour at runtime. It was started at container security company Sysdig, which is still the driving force of the project.

Sysdig is a powerful open source system monitoring and troubleshooting tool. As the first visibility tool designed specifically to support containers, Sysdig allows you to view things in a way that makes sense as a developer building and running this tool.

Falco, Sysdig’s open source project for monitoring container runtimes, left the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s (CNCF) sandbox today after its Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) voted to advance the project into incubation. The Falco project joins 14 other Incubating projects at CNCF as the first and, so far, only security runtime platform.

Falco, the open source cloud native runtime security project, was the first runtime security project to join the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sandbox in October 2018, and can now claim the same precedent for joining the incubation stage. Originally created by Sysdig, Falco detects and alerts on unexpected behavior at runtime, taking a different approach from the other security projects in the CNCF today, said Kris Nova, chief open source advocate at Sysdig and Falco maintainer.

Container security startup Sysdig Inc. said today its open-source, cloud-native runtime security tool Falco has been accepted as an incubation-level project by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) announced today it has advanced the open source Falco project for securing Kubernetes runtime environments using an intrusion and abnormality detection tool. Falco employs the Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) to capture system calls and integrate with Kubernetes application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide visibility into Kubernetes runtime environments.
