Sysdig delivers integrated cloud security AI analyst

By Adrian Bridgwater

The time has come for AI-driven precision across prevention, detection, investigation and response.

This is the message from  real-time cloud security company Sysdig.

Sysdig Sage is said to equip teams to outpace cloud threats (in real time 

Sysdig Sage now enters the company’s platform to provide security and software application development teams the power to identify, investigate and remediate risk with the support of the company’s AI cloud security analyst. 

Calling this the “first AI analyst fully integrated across a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP)”, Sysdig Sage bids to enhance the speed, precision, and confidence of technical staff across the software development life cycle.

This technology is designed to help teams understand the “who, what, when, where, and how” of emerging cloud threats and proactively suggest “high-impact, low-effort” fixes.

10 minutes, or less

The company reminds us that cloud attacks typically unfold in 10 minutes or less, and attackers are increasingly using AI to scale and sharpen their operations. 

“With domain-trained, context-aware AI, Sysdig customers – more than 50% of whom have already adopted Sysdig Sage – can meet the demands of the 555 Cloud Detection and Response Benchmark and boost the impact of their security teams without adding headcount. Sysdig Sage accelerates the pace of human response, acting as an intelligent, always-on security teammate that can prevent, detect, and suggest remediation playbooks for its human counterparts so they can stop threats in real time,” detailed the company, in a technical statement.

All Sysdig platform customers receive access to Sysdig Sage, enabling businesses to experience real value without upfront investment.

“Sysdig Sage is designed to help teams protect fast-moving, high-pressure cloud environments,” said Loris Degioanni, Sysdig founder and CTO. “It cuts through noise, speeds up triage, and pinpoints what matters so you prioritise risk faster and respond in minutes, not hours. Adopting Sysdig Sage is like plugging a battle-tested cloud security team straight into your SOC working 24/7 for you.”

Now integrated across the Sysdig CNAPP, Sysdig says Sage enables organisations to secure their applications and infrastructure with customers are already seeing benefits, such as 76% faster mean time to response for cloud security incidents.

Sysdig Sage accelerates investigations by translating natural language questions into business risk-oriented graph queries, allowing security practitioners of all levels to easily explore the relationships between resources, vulnerabilities, policies and threats. Sysdig Sage translates simple questions like, “Which workloads are running with critical vulnerabilities and public exposure?” into SysQL, Sysdig’s domain-specific query language. 

Context-aware complexity conqueror

The result is context-aware insights without the need to write complex queries or sift through dashboards, enabling faster detection, compliance validation and remediation. The technology combines live telemetry with vulnerability data to identify what’s actually at imminent risk and not just what might be. It delivers guided suggestions so that teams can address root causes – not just symptoms – while automating ownership assignment, ticket creation and integration with tools like Jira.

Whether it’s helping a developer quickly fix a vulnerable workload before it reaches production or guiding a security operations analyst through a live investigation, Sysdig Sage enables organisations to swiftly respond with the precision needed to stay ahead of evolving threats.

“Security leaders aren’t looking for more dashboards – they’re looking for answers,” Degioanni said. “By making security data instantly understandable and actionable through AI, Sysdig Sage is helping organisations accelerate the pace of human response across build, deployment, and runtime so they can stay ahead of threats, keep their applications secure, and keep up the pace of innovation.”
