Sysdig
The cloud-native runtime security platform.
About Sysdig
Detection + response for containerized + Kubernetes workloads. Behind the open-source Falco project (CNCF graduated).
§ Pitch deck breakdown
How Sysdig would pitch themselves.
Target customer
Cloud-native enterprise security teams running Kubernetes + container workloads, especially in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare).
Problem they solve
Container threats happen in seconds (cryptominers, lateral movement) but detection-and-response tools were built for VMs. Without runtime visibility, breaches aren't caught until exfiltration.
Key differentiator
Maintainers of Falco (CNCF runtime security standard) — open-source mindshare = enterprise pipeline. Sub-second detection + cloud-detection-and-response coverage end-to-end.
Go-to-market strategy
Open-source Falco → paid Sysdig conversion. Direct enterprise security sales. Heavy DevSecOps thought-leadership content (community, conferences, free Sysdig Inspect tool).
