Sysdig Secure

Zones

You can now use Zones to filter the results across Vulnerability Findings and the Events feed. A zone is a collection of scopes that represent logical groupings of your infrastructure or workloads. For example, you can create a zone for your production environment, a staging environment, or a region. They allow you to scope the infrastructure based on specific attributes for Hosts, Kubernetes, Image and Git. For more information, see Zones.

Configurable Data Retention for Scan Results

You can now configure the data retention period for Pipeline and Registry scan results, up to a maximum of 90 days. For more information, See Scan Results Retention.

Automations for Vulnerability Findings (Technical Preview)

You can use the new Sysdig Secure Automations feature to create automated actions, such as sending notifications via email and Slack, in response to conditions you specify. You can use this feature to create automations to alert on any new Vulnerability Findings. For more information, see Automations.

The feature is not enabled by default and requires a new Graph datastore added to the Sysdig On-Premise backend. As a result, this release may require additional hardware resources. Contact Sysdig Support to open a support case for guidance and assistance with the upgrade process.

Platform Audit Logs for CLI Scanner

Sysdig Platform Audit Logs now record the following CLI Scanner actions:

• vm-collector-write
• vm-policies-read
• vm-policies-write
• vm-riskacceptance-read-scanner
• vm-riskacceptance-read-ui
• vm-riskacceptance-write-ui

Track Risk Acceptance Actions of Users

Sysdig has enhanced its Vulnerability Management (VM) capabilities by introducing the ability to track user actions related to risk acceptance. You can now easily discover:

• Which user created the risk
• Which user last updated the risk
• When these actions occurred

These enhancement provide greater transparency and control over risk acceptance and update workflows, enabling you to manage vulnerabilities more effectively. For more information, See Accepted Risks for Vulnerabilities.

Hide Accepted Risks

You can now hide accepted risks. This lets you focus on unresolved vulnerabilities. To support this, the Sysdig Vulnerability Overview pages and the Vulnerabilities tab on the scanning result pages now include a Risk Acceptance filter. This filter help you view All Risks or Accepted Risks, or hide accepted risks by selecting Risk Not Accepted. For more information, see, Filters.

SBOM Download Button

You can now download a complete Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) from your scan results in CycloneDX JSON format. For more information, see SBOM Download.
