With cloud-native applications at the heart of modern business operations, securing these environments has never been more critical. Organizations need a unified approach to mitigate risks across both development and runtime environments. That’s why we’re excited to unveil our collaboration with Sysdig, combining the best of cloud security with application security

By combining Sysdig’s deep insights into cloud-native vulnerabilities with Cycode’s Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform, we’re providing organizations with an integrated approach to securing their critical cloud workloads.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Sysdig to bring together cloud security and application security to meet the evolving needs of our customers,” said Cycode CEO Lior Levy. “Combining Sysdig’s powerful runtime threat detection with Cycode’s SDLC security ensures organizations can secure their applications at every stage of the lifecycle. This partnership enables teams to identify risks sooner, minimize exposure, and enhance their security strategies across both development and production.”
“The future of cloud-native applications requires both speed and security,” commented Phil Williams, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Sysdig. “Through this partnership with Cycode, Sysdig is enabling organizations to meet that challenge, helping them identify and address vulnerabilities faster, so they can innovate without compromise.”

The Challenge: Addressing Cloud-Native Security Challenges

Modern applications are increasingly deployed using cloud-native architectures, leveraging containers, Kubernetes, and microservices to deliver applications quickly and at scale. However, these innovations come at the cost of increased complexity, particularly in managing and securing a growing attack surface. From container image vulnerabilities to misconfigurations in cloud environments and code security teams struggle to gain comprehensive visibility and prioritize risks effectively.

The Cycode-Sysdig integration rises to this challenge by offering a unified view of vulnerabilities across the entire cloud-native application stack. By integrating Sysdig’s advanced container and runtime scanning capabilities with Cycode’s SDLC visibility, organizations gain unparalleled insights into how vulnerabilities propagate from code to runtime. Additionally, Cycode’s context into the vulnerability exposure path helps identify the repositories and code-owners to further accelerate the time to remediate.

The Solution: Unifying Detection, Context, and Remediation

One of the standout advantages of this integration is its ability to unify vulnerability detection with actionable context and streamlined remediation. While Sysdig identifies vulnerabilities in container images and runtime environments, Cycode enriches this data by tracing it back to the source code and repositories where these issues originated. This combined capability enables organizations to:

  • Gain a complete understanding of how vulnerabilities impact the broader cloud-native environment, including exposure paths and affected workloads.
  • Quickly assign vulnerabilities to the correct developers or teams with actionable insights to accelerate resolution.
  • Prioritize vulnerabilities based on their real-world impact, ensuring that critical risks are addressed first.

This approach not only bridges gaps between security, development, and operations teams but also fosters a culture of collaboration by integrating insights directly into existing workflows and tools.

 

Value to Customers: Transforming Cloud-Native Application Security

Cloud-native security is no longer just a feature—it’s a necessity for organizations aiming to remain competitive in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. The Cycode-Sysdig integration empowers organizations to secure their cloud-native applications with confidence by delivering:

  • End-to-End Visibility: A unified perspective that connects code-level vulnerabilities to runtime risks.
  • Accelerated Remediation: Streamlined workflows that reduce the time from detection to resolution.
  • Proactive Risk Management: Insights that help prevent vulnerabilities from entering production environments.

By addressing the unique challenges of cloud-native security, this integration helps organizations scale their operations securely while maintaining the agility and speed that modern applications demand.
