Sysdig is pleased to announce that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) DevOps Competency for development, security, and operations (DevSecOps). This designation highlights the value provided by the Sysdig platform to AWS customers to achieve their DevSecOps goals. As a key partner for the ecosystem, Sysdig collaborates closely with AWS and its customers to enhance the protection of cloud infrastructure and applications against continuously evolving security threats.
Focusing on security early in the DevOps lifecycle not only reduces threats and security costs, but also leads to faster and more efficient release cycles. The core of DevSecOps practices is to embed security at the core of the application delivery pipeline to quickly provide contextual feedback during the build phase itself.
What is the AWS Competency Program?
AWS is known to strive for making available scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions for startups to global enterprises. To enable the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS started the AWS Competency Program to identify its best Technology Partners that follow AWS best practices in addition to the industry benchmarks. By being one of the few solutions achieving the AWS DevOps Competency specially focused on DevSecOps, Sysdig has demonstrated its commitment to AWS by building a well-architected and deeply integrated security solution that has been customized for the best interests of AWS customers. Learn more about the details of this DevOps competency specialization from this AWS Blog Post.
Note that Sysdig already has achieved AWS competency statuses for Security and Containers in the past. Sysdig has proven these competencies by:
- Working with AWS on rigorous APN competency qualification processes
- Demonstrating AWS business history
- Validating multiple customer references
AWS Customers of various sizes from startups to enterprises have thus successfully leveraged the Sysdig platform, including Sysdig Secure and Sysdig Monitor, to meet the challenges targeted by these specific AWS competencies.
To quote Knox Anderson, Vice President of Product at Sysdig –
“This validation from AWS recognizes the Sysdig platform as a value-added security solution that can help companies achieve their business transformation goals by leveraging the speed, breadth of services, and rapid innovation that AWS provides.”
What does it mean for customers?
Choosing a solution to secure cloud and containers means evaluating and balancing multiple decision criteria such as:
- Ecosystem compatibility
