Cloud-native environments make traditional forensics difficult because containers are ephemeral and evidence disappears quickly. Sysdig Inspect, embedded within Sysdig Secure, addresses this by capturing system-level runtime activity at the moment a detection occurs. Analysts can reconstruct full incident timelines by examining process lineage, file access, network activity, and system calls without switching tools. The approach scopes data collection to specific detections rather than continuous high-volume telemetry, reducing noise and enabling faster, evidence-based decisions during active incidents across containers, Kubernetes clusters, VMs, and multi-cloud workloads.
