About Sysdig
Runtime visibility is Sysdig's core: its platform watches what containers and cloud workloads actually do, and the company created Falco, the open source runtime threat detection project. The two security roles on its board are both director-level, a director of security engineering and a director of security research, inside the CISO's security and compliance group. That makes this a leadership opening rather than a hiring wave.
