The Next Generation of Cloud Security: Sysdig Agent-Based Platform

On August 5, 2025, during the Black Hat USA event in Las Vegas, Sysdig, a recognized leader in real-time cloud security, announced the launch of its groundbreaking agent-based cloud security platform. This new platform is equipped with an autonomous AI agent that thoroughly analyzes cloud environments from end-to-end. Its primary aim is to uncover hidden business risks, enabling organizations to promptly remedy critical threats within minutes, thereby significantly enhancing their overall security posture.

At the core of this innovative system is Sysdig Sage™, the fully integrated AI cloud security analyst. It possesses the unique ability to understand the full context of a business, providing organizations with clear, context-specific remediation recommendations. This accelerated process reduces the time it takes for critical vulnerabilities to be exposed from several days to just minutes.

Sysdig’s Vision for a New Era of Security

Loris Degioanni, founder and CTO of Sysdig, commented on the industry’s current issues: “Many companies waste thousands of hours categorizing security problems manually, tracking false positives, and debating what needs fixing. Our agent-based cloud security changes this scenario drastically.” According to Degioanni, Sysdig moves beyond superficial AI solutions, replacing reactive guesswork with real-time intelligence that transforms how teams safeguard their businesses.

The cutting-edge capabilities of the Sysdig Sage AI agent are founded on uncompromising cloud security, backed by comprehensive data and complete context. It conducts semantic analysis on cloud infrastructure and workloads, unveiling key application contexts like environment types, business functions, customer resources, and more. This critical information often gets overlooked in the fast-paced cloud environment, buried beneath layers of data and alerts from various tools and teams. By associating this context with detailed runtime insights, organizations can effectively safeguard their most vulnerable and vital assets.

Setting New Standards in Cloud Risk Management

Sysdig's agent-based platform establishes new benchmarks for how cloud security teams prioritize and remediate cloud risks. Leveraging its semantic analysis within the Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), Sysdig deploys collaborative teams of specialized AI agents. Each agent is designed to add value across key steps of the vulnerability management process.

Automated Analysis of Significant Risks in Business Context: The AI agents autonomously analyze cloud environments, attributing meaning to raw cloud tech data through semantic analysis. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the environment and infrastructure. Based on this comprehension, Sysdig Sage aligns cloud workloads with essential business contexts, such as:

• - Environment types (production/development)
• - Business functions
• - Types of applications
• - Customer-related resources
• - Geographical regions
• - Asset ownership, and more.

With this contextual foundation, Sysdig Sage perceives risks in the cloud not just as technical vulnerabilities but as potential business impacts, leading to more accurate risk assessment and prioritization.

Minimizing Exposure to Critical Vulnerabilities: Gaining insights into critical business contexts is just the starting point. The AI agents evaluate key risk factors, including the severity of vulnerabilities, usage patterns, exposure ranges, and exploitability probabilities. This comprehensive assessment enables them to filter out more than 98% of lower-risk noise automatically, pinpointing only the most significant threats. Consequently, security teams can concentrate on what genuinely matters, streamlining their responses to security risks. This automated process promises to reduce the 80+ hours traditionally spent each week on risk prioritization, significantly easing the workload on security teams.

Practical Guidance for Fast Remediation

Sysdig Sage provides extensive insights into crucial risks, coupled with context-specific remediation guidance. These recommendations facilitate the security team's efforts to achieve maximum risk reduction with minimal effort. By offering clarity on vulnerabilities within business contexts, it bridges the gap between security and development teams effectively. Moreover, it enhances the speed and accuracy of security response through automation in ticket creation, ownership assignments, and remediation workflows.

Transparent Reporting for Executive Committees: Furthermore, Sysdig Sage offers compliance-ready reports that visualize trends in vulnerabilities, remediation progress, and overall risk posture within the organization. These reports provide crucial insights into security metrics and vulnerabilities flagged as 'critical,' establishing a clear feedback loop with decision-makers at the executive and board levels.

This initiative fosters strategic discussions on risk assessment and prioritization between the technical teams and management, paving the way for an accelerated, organization-wide security response.

Sysdig stands out as the sole provider of end-to-end security featuring agent-based AI within the CNAPP realm. By combining profound expertise in cloud security with semantic analysis rooted in business context, Sysdig Sage unveils previously unnoticed threats, enabling timely and effective responses before risks escalate.

Early Access and Event Participation

Customers utilizing Sysdig Sage can access the agent-based cloud security platform early. For inquiries, customers should reach out to their representatives.

Sysdig will also be showcasing its innovative solution at the upcoming Black Hat USA event in Las Vegas, Nevada, from August 6-7, 2025. Attendees interested in the latest cloud security advancements can visit booth 5318 for live demonstrations of their agent-based offerings.
