To accompany Sysdig’s announcement of the first cloud-scale Prometheus monitoring offering, we had to re-architect our dashboarding experience from the ground up to support the Prometheus query language, PromQL. The query language is the standard method to query metrics within the ecosystem, and it’s an entirely new way to slice and dice metrics within Sysdig Monitor.

In this article, we will show how it’s easily possible to monitor AWS Fargate with Sysdig Monitor. By leveraging existing Prometheus ingestion in Sysdig, you will be able to monitor serverless services with a single-pane-of-glass approach, giving you confidence in running these services in production.

This CVE is a Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in kube-controller-manager that allows certain authorized users to leak up to 500 bytes of arbitrary information from unprotected endpoints within the master’s host network (such as link-local or loopback services).

Reverse shell is a way that attackers gain access to a victim’s system. In this article, you’ll learn how this attack works and how you can detect it using Falco, a CNCF project, as well as Sysdig Secure. Sometimes, an application vulnerability can be exploited in a way that allows an attacker to establish a reverse shell connection, which grants them interactive access to the system.

Today, we are pleased to announce the expansion of Sysdig’s relationship with IBM to extend cloud security governance with IBM Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management. Through a new OEM agreement, Sysdig Secure and the Sysdig Secure DevOps Platform are now available through IBM and IBM Business Partners. The combined IBM and Sysdig offering delivers centralized cloud visibility, governance and automation with in-depth container security intelligence for Red Hat OpenShift.

A Prometheus CloudWatch exporter is a key element for anyone wanting to monitor AWS CloudWatch. Exporting CloudWatch metrics to a Prometheus server allows leveraging of the power of PromQL queries, integrating AWS metrics with those from other applications or cloud providers, and creating advanced dashboards for digging down into problems. But, who watches the watcher? Despite those advantages, using the wrong exporter or an incorrect configuration can have bad consequences in production environments.
