Sysdig, Inc. of San Francisco, CA announced on May 13 a strategic partnership with In-Q-Tel, Inc. (IQT), the not-for-profit strategic investor that identifies and accelerates the development of cutting-edge technologies to support the missions of U.S. government agencies. Together Sysdig and IQT will provide U.S. government agencies with the Sysdig Cloud-Native Visibility and Security Platform (VSP), giving agencies insight and control as they transition to modern IT architectures, including Kubernetes, containers, and multi-cloud deployments.
The need for speed and agility is driving changes in IT infrastructure,
most notably the shift to cloud-native architectures and the adoption of rapid
DevOps-style development programs. The move to multi-cloud and containers comes
with tremendous opportunity, but also introduces complexity and risk. Since its
founding in 2013, Sysdig has focused on providing an innovative new approach to
visibility and security for containers and microservices in the cloud. The
company already monitors and secures tens of millions of containers across
hundreds of enterprises, and with IQT will lend this expertise to more
government agencies. This unprecedented level of visibility into cloud-native
infrastructure will help agencies accelerate modernization, improve the health
and risk posture of their environments, reduce cost of operations, detect
vulnerabilities, and prevent attacks.
“Sysdig is honored
to work with IQT to help our government agencies minimize operational
complexity and risk by uncovering blind spots in cloud-native applications,”
said Suresh Vasudevan, chief executive officer at Sysdig. “We are already
working with U.S. federal and local governments, along with international
government agencies, and we will continue to provide innovative solutions
through our partnership with IQT.”
“With the Sysdig Visibility and Security Platform, our government partners will gain insight and control as they move to adopt modern, cloud-native approaches,” said Luke Berndt, senior member, technical staff, IQT. “Sysdig’s cutting-edge solutions will give our agencies the ability to identify vulnerabilities, enforce compliance, and monitor application and service performance.”
