Sysdig Unites Cloud-Native Visibility and Security in Platform Update

Sysdig got its start as a technology provider for virtualized application visibility and has steadily expanded into cloud-native security. Now the company is looking to combine workload visibility and intelligence together with security controls in a new platform update. The Sysdig Cloud-Native Visibility and Security Platform (VSP) 2.0 release is set to be announced on April 9, on the first day of the Google Next cloud conference. The platform update is part of a larger strategic vision being unveiled by the company to help organizations close the cloud-native visibility gap. "We find that lack of insight into what's going on and lack of visibility tends to be the single biggest problem that our customers face," Suresh Vasudevan, CEO of Sysdig, told eWEEK. "Without visibility, you cannot be assured of security." Sysdig got started in 2013 to provide workload intelligence to organizations deploying applications in the cloud. Vasudevan explained that when the company started, a lot of the focus was on visibility to help address performance and health challenges for application workloads.
