Introducing Custom Controls in Sysdig Secure
Blog post from Sysdig
Sysdig Secure introduces custom controls to enhance cloud security posture management by allowing security teams to define and enforce policies tailored to their specific architecture and compliance requirements. These custom controls, built on the Open Policy Agent (OPA) and using the Rego language, enable enterprises to manage security configurations across infrastructures such as Kubernetes, containers, and cloud environments, including major providers like AWS, Azure, GCP, and IBM. The controls are integrated with Sysdig's Terraform Provider, facilitating version-controlled, automated deployment and maintenance of security policies, which can prevent misconfigurations and ensure compliance with standards like PCI and HIPAA. The platform also offers a Rego Playground for testing and validating policy logic, and a robust API for querying and managing resources programmatically. Through these features, Sysdig Secure allows organizations to implement and automate security measures effectively, ensuring consistent compliance and risk management across their IT environments.
