Introducing Agentless Vulnerability Management: A complete guide to strengthening your security

Sysdig's new Agentless Vulnerability Management approach offers a streamlined and efficient way to enhance security without disrupting fast-paced development processes, particularly appealing to DevOps teams like Maya's, who prioritize agility. The method combines agentless scanning with lightweight agent-based deployments to overcome traditional limitations, such as lack of real-time visibility and system memory insights. By leveraging existing cloud providers' APIs, the agentless scanner quickly discovers and assesses cloud resources, generating a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for vulnerability management. The lightweight Sysdig agent, operating at the kernel level with eBPF technology, provides real-time insights and minimal overhead, enabling a balanced security posture. The onboarding process is swift, typically completed within 10 to 15 minutes, and emphasizes the principle of least privilege, reducing potential risks associated with excessive permissions. This dual approach allows organizations to prioritize remediation efforts effectively, reducing vulnerability noise by up to 95% and maintaining a robust security stance in a rapidly evolving threat landscape.
