Sysdig-Cloud-Native-Security-Report-2026.md

Sysdig’s 2026 Cloud‑Native Security and Usage Report analyzes anonymized telemetry and threat research across millions of cloud-native assets and finds that human-scale security is hitting limits: organizations face persistent vulnerable images and rapid exploit weaponization, AI is being used by both attackers and defenders (including AI-assisted malware and fast account takeover), and industry responses are shifting to agentic AI, autonomous response actions (e.g., automated process kills), and runtime detection tools like Falco to reduce risk.
