A security scanning tool with great insight on your workloads running anywhere

There was a security concern related to a specific feature. While the feature itself was promising, it posed a challenge. The situation revolved around code scanning. If your source code is hosted within your own premises, say on Bitbucket, you naturally wouldn't want your code to be accessible to external parties beyond your company. Keeping your code base private is a standard practice. However, in the case of code scanning using Sysdig Secure, they copy your code to their SaaS platform. This posed an issue for us. When we inquired about this, their response acknowledged the concern. In an upcoming release, they plan to enable code scanning within your on-premises environment through the assistance of an agent. This change is already in progress. While this tool stands out compared to existing solutions in the market, it's important to note that there are still some limitations to consider. Another drawback we encountered relates to our expertise with Kubernetes. The tool can monitor Kubernetes audit logs, triggering alerts and notifications. However, it falls short in terms of taking direct action based on these alerts. There are different methods of event capture, including through system level and system calls, as well as via Kubernetes audit events. Notably, at the system level, Sysdig Secure can both detect and respond to events, allowing actions like blocking and warning. This proactive approach is effective at the system call level. However, when it comes to monitoring Kubernetes audit events, Sysdig Secure can only notify without being able to execute any further actions. It can't block access or containers. The vendor likened their role to that of a monitoring camera, observing events and sending notifications without the capacity to intervene. This limitation applies to Kubernetes audit events. Given that everything operates within our system, there is a workaround available: configuring system-level policies to block containers as necessary.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"My favorite feature is Storyline."

"The visibility PingSafe provides into the Cloud environment is a valuable feature."

"It is pretty easy to integrate with this platform. When properly integrated, it monitors end-to-end."

"We like the platform and its response time. We also like that its console is user-friendly as well as modern and sleek."

"It saves time, makes your environment more secure, and improves compliance. PingSafe helps with audits, ensuring that you are following best practices for cloud security. You don't need to be an expert to use it and improve your security."

"The management console is the most valuable feature."

"Cloud Native Security is user-friendly. Everything in the Cloud Native Security tool is straightforward, including detections, integration, reporting, etc. They are constantly improving their UI by adding plugins and other features."

"There's real-time threat detection. It can show threats and find issues based on their severity and helps us with real-time monitoring."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pros

"The features of image scanning and anti-malware are really valuable."

"The tool's deployment is simple. Also, I am impressed with its risk capabilities."

"The UI has a lot of features."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is its run-time security."

"When it comes to the price, we got a really good deal from the vendor instantly."

"The initial setup is quite good, it's straightforward."

"The most valuable feature of SUSE NeuVector is the performance, deployment, and cost."

"The proactiveness of the support has been fantastic. Every time we mention something in a meeting that we're trying to do, he proactively takes that as an investigation topic and looks into it. He'll provide the solution even though we might not have asked him to investigate it."

"The log monitor is the most valuable feature."

"I see Sysdig as the most comprehensive solution in comparison to its competitors."

"We appreciate this feature, especially when combined with CD monitoring. The implementation of requested features has been remarkable, such as scanning for compliance in CRM processes for the US government. We heavily rely on this feature to assess compliance with federal requirements."

"From a container-based standpoint, it offers excellent scalability to its users...I would tell those planning to use the solution that, from a container standpoint, it's excellent."

"Sysdig Secure has many strong foundational features like compliance and benchmark, security, network access management, and vulnerability management."

"The most valuable feature is the level of support that we get. Our solutions or customer success representative is very valuable. I see them as an extension of our security team."

"The tool has the capability to conduct scans initially. It can perform scans on your virtual machines, physical machines, containers, and container images. A standout feature is its ability to scan offline container images stored in your container registry. Additionally, it can scan runtime images in your cluster or on your host machine. This allows for the detection of vulnerabilities in running containers, including loaded libraries. Notably, the tool can identify which library vulnerabilities are already present in your system. An added advantage is its capacity to take action beyond threat detection. It has the ability to block access and respond to encountered threats."

Cons

"PingSafe is an excellent CSPM tool, but the CWPP features need to improve, and there is a scope for more application security posture management features. There aren't many ASPM solutions on the market, and existing ones are costly. I would like to see PingSafe develop into a single pane of glass for ASPM, CSPM, and CWPP. Another feature I'd like to see is runtime protection."

"If I had to pick a complaint, it would be the way the hosts are listed in the tool. You have different columns separated by endpoint name, Cloud Account, and Cloud Instances ID. I wish there was something where we could change the endpoint name and not use just the IP address. We would like to have custom names or our own names for the instances. If I had a complaint, that would be it, but so far, it meets all the needs that we have."

"There is a bit of a learning curve for new users."

"The main area for improvement I want to see is for the platform to become less resource-intensive. Right now, it can slow down processes on the machine, and it would be a massive improvement if it were more lightweight than it currently is."

"The could improve their mean time to detect."

"They can work on policies based on different compliance standards."

"I would like to see the map feature improve. It's good, but it isn't fully developed. It lets us use custom resources and policies but does not allow us to perform some actions. I would also like more custom integration and runtime security for Kubernetes."

"There should be more documentation about the product."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security cons

"The documentation needs to improve a bit."

"The image-scanning features need improvement."

"SUSE NeuVector should provide more security protection rules and better container image scanning."

"SUSE NeuVector could improve by increasing its visibility into other elements of the DevSecOps pipeline. Additionally, scanning around infrastructure would be helpful."

"We are also working with IaaS VMS, but NeuVector doesn't support virtual machines."

"The tool should offer seamless integration of other security tools while in a hybrid environment."

"I would say that this solution should improve monitoring and reporting. I would also like to see more integrations so that we could essentially make it a part of a developing pipeline."

"The solution needs to improve overall from a CSPM standpoint since they can't compete with Wiz or Orca."

"Reporting can definitely be better. Live dashboards should be configurable for a longer period of time rather than 30 days. Being able to go back in time to compare six months ago to today would be valuable."

"Sysdig's biggest weakness is dashboarding and reporting. You have access to the data and can get everything you need, but we need the ability to summarize the information quickly in a format that senior leaders can understand. We report to the executive level and global board. I need to roll all that in-depth information into a quick summary, and their maturity level isn't there. I'm seeing that on the future road map, but it isn't there now."

"They should make it specific with a couple of features only."

"Banks and financial institutions cannot use Sysdig Secure because it doesn't sell SaaS-hosted versions for under two hundred working nodes."

"The dashboard could be more simple and show the more important issues that are detected first. We'd like to be able to set it up so more important issues show up more prominently in the dashboard."

"There was a security concern related to a specific feature. While the feature itself was promising, it posed a challenge. The situation revolved around code scanning. If your source code is hosted within your own premises, say on Bitbucket, you naturally wouldn't want your code to be accessible to external parties beyond your company.

Another drawback we encountered relates to our expertise with Kubernetes. The tool can monitor Kubernetes audit logs, triggering alerts and notifications. However, it falls short in terms of taking direct action based on these alerts. There are different methods of event capture, including through system labels and system calls, as well as via Kubernetes audit events. Notably, at the system level, Sysdig Secure can both detect and respond to events, allowing actions like blocking and warning. This proactive approach is effective at the system call level. However, when it comes to monitoring Kubernetes audit events, Sysdig Secure can only notify without being able to execute any further actions. It can't block access or containers. The vendor likened their role to that of a monitoring camera, observing events and sending notifications without the capacity to intervene. This limitation applies to Kubernetes audit events. Given that everything operates within our system, there is a workaround available: configuring system-level policies to block containers as necessary."

"Perhaps, it could support more custom implementations, as our company utilizes custom implementations rather than standard ones. Configuring it requires a deep understanding and adjustment to our specific needs, which took some time. Other than that, I'm unsure about potential improvements. We were considering the possibility of compartmentalizing their tools. Currently, in Sysdig Secure, they bundle multiple features, and we are unable to use them individually. For instance, if we only need compliance scanning, we have to deploy the entire secure package. This is because of the way their agent functions, but I can't delve into more details."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not involved in the pricing, but it is cost-effective."

"I understand that SentinelOne is a market leader, but the bill we received was astronomical."

"PingSafe is not very expensive compared to Prisma Cloud, but it's also not that cheap. However, because of its features, it makes sense to us as a company. It's fairly priced."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's pricing is good."

"The features included in PingSafe justify its price point."

"PingSafe is affordable."

"Singularity Cloud Workload Security's licensing and price were cheaper than the other solutions we looked at."

"As a partner, we receive a discount on the licenses."

More SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security pricing and cost advice

"Licensing fees are paid yearly."

"The solution's pricing could be better. The cost of a subscription is calculated on the basis of work."

"SUSE NeuVector is an open-source solution."

"The price of SUSE NeuVector is low. There is an additional cost for support."

"It is quite costly compared to other tools."

"In comparison to other cloud solutions, it's reasonably priced. However, when compared to in-house built open-source projects, it might be considered somewhat costly. The cost depends on whether someone sees the support provided by Sysdig as an advantage or if it's deemed unnecessary. Personally, I find the support to be excellent and consider it a good value."

"I am always going to say that it could be a little bit cheaper. I do feel that it is a little bit on the expensive side."

"Sysdig is competitive. The quality matches the pricing. Obviously, everyone wants things to be cheaper, but if you're realistic, you acknowledge that quality service comes with a price. Sysdig is the gold standard for Kubernetes, and I wouldn't choose anything else. We live in Kubernetes. Everything is containerized, so that means a lot to us, and we're willing to make an investment."

"The solution's pricing depends on the agents...In short, the price depends on the environment of its user."

SUSE NeuVector Benefits

There are many benefits to implementing NeuVector. Some of the biggest advantages the solution offers include:

Deep packet inspection (DPI): NeuVector applies DPI to identify attacks, detect sensitive data, or verify application access to further reduce the attack surface. Only network layer analysis enables security to detect and verify the allowed protocols, helping security teams enforce business policy.

Real-time protection: NeuVector provides inspection, segmentation, and protection of all traffic into and out of a container. This includes container to container traffic, and ingress from external sources to containers, as well as egress from containers to external applications and the internet. The solution aims to protect your applications from internal application level attacks such as DDoS and DNS.

Capture packets for debugging and threat investigation: WIth NeuVector, you can view summary connection data and drill down into actual packet details for each container, as they scale up and down. When a threat is detected, NeuVector is able to automatically capture and display the packet info, making it easy for you to investigate.

Automated security policies: The NeuVector solution allows you to automate the creation of security policies to protect application workloads in production. The solution also enables you to automate and maintain run-time security policies using Kubernetes custom resource definitions (CRDs), and gives you the option to declare an application security policy at any stage in the pipeline.

Compliance: NeuVector offers detection capabilities and security policy enforcement that prevent PHI and PII exposure, exceed requirements, and simplify reporting for PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and more. The solution helps you track critical vulnerabilities and compliance violations so you can quickly identify any that require immediate patching or followup alerts. It also makes it possible for you to manage vulnerability and compliance scan results, with no required integration to external workflow tools.
