January 2020 Summaries

IBM and Sysdig have collaborated to enhance security governance through the integration of Sysdig Secure with IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management, providing a robust platform for managing security and performance in multi-cloud environments. This partnership enables enterprises to accelerate cloud adoption while ensuring security and regulatory compliance, offering features such as container image vulnerability management, runtime security, incident response, and compliance auditing. IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management centralizes visibility, governance, and automation for containerized workloads, allowing for streamlined operations across various cloud environments. Sysdig Secure adds depth to security intelligence by embedding security measures throughout the container lifecycle, supporting hybrid cloud capabilities and integrating with security operations tools. The collaboration offers a comprehensive security solution, enabling efficient threat detection, prevention, and response to support enterprise security standards and reduce business risk.

The blog post discusses the integration of Sysdig Secure with Azure Container Registry (ACR) to enhance the security and compliance of container images used in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and other orchestration platforms. Sysdig Secure offers image scanning capabilities that assess Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in OS packages and third-party libraries, as well as identify misconfigurations before deployment. The integration allows for seamless scanning of images stored in ACR by passing credentials to Sysdig Secure, which then evaluates the images against a set scanning policy. This process can be automated for continuous monitoring, and a detailed report is generated highlighting vulnerabilities and compliance issues. The article emphasizes the ease of setting up this integration and encourages users to try a demo to experience the security benefits firsthand.
