Sysdig and Apolicy: Automating cloud and Kubernetes security with IaC security and auto-remediation

Sysdig's acquisition of Apolicy aims to enhance cloud and Kubernetes security by integrating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security and auto-remediation into its Secure DevOps platform. Apolicy's expertise in policy management, leveraging Open Policy Agent (OPA), and automated workflows allows Sysdig to manage security risks from source to production effectively. This acquisition supports the shift-left security approach in DevOps, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities early in the software development pipeline. Apolicy's approach includes automated drift remediation, risk prioritization, and policy enforcement across various environments, strengthening Sysdig's Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM) and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). The integration addresses the growing need for secure, compliant, and resilient infrastructure deployment as enterprises increasingly adopt containers and cloud technologies.
