Active Cloud Risk: Why Static Checks Are Not Enough

Cloud security requires more than static checks, which provide only periodic snapshots of potential vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. To address the dynamic nature of threats, it's crucial to incorporate active cloud risk management, which includes monitoring real-time activities such as suspicious user behavior, configuration changes, and vulnerabilities in use. A comprehensive approach combines static checks with runtime insights to detect and prioritize active risks, thereby reducing alert fatigue and enabling timely responses to threats. Sysdig's platform offers a unified solution that integrates both agentless scanning and agent-based detection, providing extensive coverage and deeper analysis, while allowing flexibility in choosing security tools to address the ever-evolving threat landscape.
