Sysdig Platform

Sysdig was founded in 2013 by Loris Degioanni, creator of Wireshark (the world's most popular network protocol analyzer with 160 million downloads) and WinPcap, with headquarters in San Francisco, California, to bring the same deep visibility philosophy from network packets to cloud-native systems. The company has raised $745 million across nine funding rounds led by Permira, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, and Insight Partners achieving a $2.5 billion valuation in December 2021, serving 700 customers including over 60% of the Fortune 500 with $147 million in revenue as of November 2024 representing 192% year-over-year growth and 149% net revenue retention demonstrating strong customer expansion.

The Sysdig Platform delivers runtime-powered cloud security through its foundation on open source Falco, which Sysdig contributed to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation in 2018 and achieved CNCF graduation status in February 2024 after surpassing 100 million downloads to become the de facto standard for cloud-native threat detection used by major cloud providers including AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Red Hat. The platform combines real-time runtime insights with comprehensive CNAPP capabilities including vulnerability management with reachability analysis, cloud security posture management for misconfiguration detection, cloud workload protection for runtime defense, infrastructure-as-code scanning, and Kubernetes security posture management, all powered by Sysdig Sage the first agentic AI analyst for cloud security that uses runtime intelligence to reason and act with unprecedented context enabling security teams to stop attacks in seconds rather than days by prioritizing only vulnerabilities and threats that actually matter based on what is running in production.

Sysdig maintains SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 27701 certifications demonstrating robust security and privacy controls while helping customers achieve compliance with frameworks including PCI DSS, NIST, HIPAA, and GDPR through automated remediation workflows. The company has been recognized with Fortune Cyber 60 (2024), Deloitte Technology Fast 500 (#289 in 2023), and Inc. 5000 awards, while expanding its open source leadership beyond Falco to establish the Wireshark Foundation in 2023 and launching Stratoshark in January 2025 as "Wireshark for the cloud" which achieved 40,000 downloads within weeks, maintaining its founding philosophy that security done right delivers visibility, trust, and control through open innovation built on transparent community-driven standards rather than proprietary black boxes.
