Problem

Solution

Misconfigurations in production create security risks and costly emergency fixes

Catch misconfigurations before code reaches production with automated scanning embedded in workflows

Silos make it hard to align Security and DevOps priorities

Create sustainable security at speed in your CI/CD pipelines with Sysdig’s policy-as-code approach

Complex clouds make configurations and compliance hard to track

Scan IaC templates and runtime environments in real time for complete visibility across your infrastructure

Build secure infrastructure from day one with Sysdig

Automated IaC scanning

Sysdig automatically scans infrastructure code during development to detect misconfigurations, policy violations, and vulnerabilities in Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes manifests, and other IaC templates before they reach production.

Policy as code enforcement

Our flexible policy engine enforces security standards directly in your development workflow using OPA-based policies. Implement compliance frameworks like CIS, NIST, and SOC 2 with pre-built policies or create custom guardrails for your specific requirements.

Risk-based prioritization

Intelligent risk scoring consolidates alerts from the same root cause and prioritizes issues based on application context and potential impact. This helps cut through the security alert noise and ensures your team can address the most critical vulnerabilities first.

How Sysdig’s IaC security works

Sysdig's IaC Security integrates directly into your development lifecycle through multiple touchpoints. Our solution combines static analysis of IaC templates with runtime cloud configuration monitoring to provide comprehensive protection.

During development, our scanners parse IaC files to identify potential security issues and compare configurations against policy-as-code rules stored in your repository. These checks run automatically during commits, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines, and then the system provides actionable feedback with remediation guidance.

Post-deployment, Sysdig monitors your cloud environment and compares actual configurations with your IaC templates to detect drift. This closed-loop approach ensures security — from code to cloud — using a unified policy engine that enforces consistent standards throughout the application lifecycle.

FAQs

Why is IaC security important?

Which IaC frameworks does Sysdig support?

How does Sysdig integrate with existing CI/CD pipelines?

How does Sysdig help with compliance requirements for infrastructure?

Sysdig includes pre-built policies mapped to common compliance frameworks including CIS Benchmarks, NIST 800-53, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. Our automated policy engine continuously checks your infrastructure code against these requirements to maintain compliance throughout the development lifecycle. Plus, our detailed compliance reports provide the documentation you need to streamline audits and demonstrate your security posture to stakeholders.
