Sysdig has announced the release of continuous cloud security posture management for AWS, which automatically discovers cloud services and flags misconfigurations and compliance violations. Cloud security posture management builds on Cloud Custodian, which is a cloud infrastructure security tool.
The company also announced support for cloud threat detection for AWS and GCP. Customers will be able to detect suspicious activity or changes across their infrastructure without having to periodically check configurations. According to Sysdig, attacks can leverage exposed configurations to get inside a network, then revert configurations once they’re inside, which makes them hard to detect.
Another new feature from Sysdig is Cloud Risk Insights, which provides visibility into the cloud attack chain and classifies incidents based on severity levels.
