Security News > 2021 > April > Sysdig raises $188M to invest in continued innovation in its open source foundation

This round follows strong growth in 2020, a rapidly expanding customer base, a thriving open source community, and a massive growth opportunity with containers and cloud.

Sysdig significantly expanded the total addressable market beyond container and Kubernetes security to include cloud security with the addition of continuous cloud security posture management in 2021.

Sysdig was founded as an open source company and the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform was built on an open source foundation to address the security challenges of modern cloud applications.

Open source sysdig and Falco are projects that were created by Sysdig to leverage deep visibility as a foundation for security, and they have become standards for container and cloud threat detection and incident response.

This new round of investment will enable Sysdig to invest in continued innovation in its open source foundation as well as in its secure DevOps platform, and grow research and development teams in Raleigh, Spain, Italy, Belgrade, and San Francisco.

"The current security stack based on a firewall mentality and promoted by incumbents is irrelevant in the cloud. Sysdig takes a secure DevOps approach, allowing teams to ship cloud apps faster while managing security risk."
