As AI workloads increasingly run on Kubernetes and containers, preventative security controls alone are insufficient. Runtime visibility is essential because it captures actual workload behavior — revealing whether vulnerable packages are active, whether permissions are being used, and whether services are communicating with sensitive systems. With 66% of organizations running generative AI on Kubernetes (per CNCF), and attackers able to build exploits within hours of a CVE going public, runtime security becomes the critical foundation for cloud defense. Sysdig positions runtime insights as the data layer that enables AI-assisted and autonomous security workflows.
