Sysdig Adds Bedrock Integration to Unify Cloud and Data Security, Strengthen CNAPP Capabilities

Cloud security platforms have been good at catching misconfigurations, enforcing policies, and watching workloads. But they’ve largely operated without real visibility into sensitive data - where it lives, how it’s exposed, and whether it’s being targeted. The new integration between Sysdig and Bedrock Security changes that equation.

By embedding Bedrock’s data security posture management (DSPM) capabilities directly into the Sysdig Secure platform, the partnership gives security teams a more complete view of risk. Vulnerabilities aren’t just flagged in isolation; they’re evaluated through the lens of data exposure and real-world attacker behavior.

“This changes the game not just for the Sysdig platform, but for the way the industry thinks about the convergence of cloud and data security,” Greg Wiseman, Staff Product Manager at Sysdig told MSSP Alert. “While many CNAPP vendors talk about ‘full-stack visibility,’ they’re still largely focused on static configuration analysis. We connect data exposure with real-time behavior to deliver actionable and timely risk insights so security teams can respond before threats escalate.”

From Alerts to Real Insight

For CISOs, one of the biggest challenges is sorting out which risks actually matter. Sysdig’s integration with Bedrock helps security teams move beyond hypothetical threats by adding data sensitivity and user behavior into the equation.

“Sysdig can identify where sensitive data lives, how it’s exposed, and – maybe most importantly – whether it’s being targeted through specific behavior like IAM abuse, lateral movement, or exfiltration attempts,” said Wiseman. “We’re the only CNAPP in the market that doesn’t just show where sensitive data is, but can tell you who has access to it and what they’re doing with it in real time.”

The result is better prioritization and faster response. Analysts don’t need to correlate findings across tools - Sysdig surfaces the insights directly within its existing risk views and dashboards.

No Added Overhead

One of the risks of layering DSPM into a CNAPP is performance degradation or increased complexity. Sysdig tackled that head-on during the design phase.

“We built it from the ground up the right way – to avoid the tradeoffs that usually come with data classification,” Wiseman said. “Scanning is metadata-only, event-driven, and serverless. Sensitive data never leaves the environment, and there’s no scanning latency or infrastructure to manage.”

Instead of relying on static rules, the platform uses an AI-based reasoning engine that continually updates data classifications based on context - cutting down on noise and improving accuracy without requiring manual tuning.

Built for Governance and Global Scale

As AI adoption surges, enterprises are under increasing pressure to prove they’re handling sensitive data responsibly. Sysdig’s integration was built with compliance mandates and data sovereignty in mind.

“AI governance and data sovereignty aren’t just security issues anymore - they’re executive and regulatory priorities,” said Wiseman. “Whether customers are governed by GDPR, CCPA, or PDPA, we give them the visibility and control to meet those standards without the operational burden.”

Posture insights are automatically mapped to frameworks like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. Scanning happens locally, with only metadata analyzed, helping customers meet residency laws across regions without extra configuration.

Opportunities for MSSPs

The integration also opens new doors for MSSPs. Rather than stitching together multiple tools, partners can now offer data-aware CNAPP and compliance services from a single platform.

“Instead of cobbling together a CNAPP and separate DSPM – or writing custom rules to connect data risk with runtime behavior – partners get a unified platform that does it all out of the box,” said Wiseman. “The operational burden is low, the setup is simple, and the insights are rich. Sysdig helps security teams deliver more value without added effort.”

For managed service providers looking to stand out in a crowded market, the Bedrock-Sysdig integration makes it possible to offer deeper threat detection, smarter risk prioritization, and stronger compliance support - without increasing complexity or cost.

This isn’t just another feature add. By combining real-time threat detection with deep data context, Sysdig is setting a higher bar for what a unified CNAPP should look like - and making it more accessible for enterprises and MSSPs alike.
