Integrate Sysdig Secure with Vulnetix. Use the sysdig-cli-scanner to scan container images for CVEs. Export SARIF findings and upload to Vulnetix.
Run Sysdig in CI
Scan on every push and upload the results to Vulnetix:
- name: Scan with Sysdig
id: scan

How Vulnetix compares — better together
Vulnetix does not replace Sysdig. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of Sysdig — and every other scanner you already own — turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
Sysdig is strongest at its core category and also carries features in Cloud Security & CSPM, IaC & Cloud Configuration, Secret Scanning, SCA, Network & Vulnerability Scanners, SAST, DAST — just like Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | Sysdig |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ~ SAST listed under Application & API Security |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ~ Dependency vulnerabilities surfaced via image SBOM and AppSec |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ~ DAST + API security with WAAS (OWASP Top 10) in the AppSec module |
| Container & image | ✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile | ✓ Core: image + runtime vulnerability scanning, SBOM extraction, K8s workload coverage |
| IaC / misconfiguration | ✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation | ✓ CLI + Git IaC scanning for Terraform, CloudFormation, K8s manifests |
| Secret scanning | ✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history | ~ Secrets detection within AppSec/source scanning |
| Cloud / CSPM | ✓ Cloud-posture findings, compliance tab | ✓ CSPM, KSPM, CIEM, agentless CDR via CloudTrail + Falco policies |
| Mobile (MAST) | ~ Ingests mobile scanner output; no native mobile engine | ✗ |
| License compliance | ✓ SPDX, copyleft/AGPL/SSPL policy | ✗ |
| SBOM generation | ✓ CycloneDX 1.7 + SPDX 2.3, cosign-signable | ✓ Extracts CycloneDX-compatible SBOMs from images and runtime |
| Malware / supply-chain | ✓ De-duplicated corpus + install-time firewall (25+ registries) | ✗ |
| Network / infra vuln | ~ Ingests network scanner output; no native network scanner | ~ Network security integration and runtime network policy visibility |
| Fuzzing | ✗ Ingests fuzzing crashes; no native fuzzer | ✗ |
| Pentest / bug bounty | ✗ Ingests pentest/bug-bounty findings; not a testing service | ✗ |
| The Vulnetix orchestration layer | ||
| Cross-scanner dedup & one queue (ASPM) | ✓ Correlates every scanner into one prioritised queue with ownership routing | ~ Consolidates registry, CI/CD and runtime scan results into unified VM view (ASPM/CNAPP) |
| Exploit-intel prioritisation | ✓ EPSS, CISA KEV, Coalition ESS, CWSS, Vulnetix LEV | ✓ EPSS score + percentile policies, Has-Exploit/Has-Fix context in findings |
| Reachability analysis | ✓ Tree-sitter + CVEAffected; direct/transitive/semantic | ~ In-Use validation filters to vulns in actually-running/loaded workloads |
| Versioned VEX + audit trail | ✓ Immutable OpenVEX/CycloneDX, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Safe Harbour autofix | ✓ Resolves + applies the nearest safe version | ✗ |
| End-of-life policy | ✓ Flags/blocks past-EOL runtimes & packages | ✗ |
| SSVC / risk-based policy | ✓ SSVC v2 + CISA/FedRAMP/Essential-8 presets | ✗ |
✓ full · ~ partial · ✗ not covered
What Sysdig does well
- Runtime-powered vulnerability management: In-Use validation filters CVEs to packages actually loaded in running workloads — high-signal prioritization
- Falco-based Cloud Detection & Response (CDR) plus CSPM, KSPM and CIEM in one CNAPP with deep runtime threat detection
- EPSS score and percentile policies plus Has-Exploit/Has-Fix context built directly into the findings and policy engine
- Agentless + agent coverage (Host/Cluster Shield) building CycloneDX SBOMs from live workloads and registries
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Vulnetix ingests Sysdig's container, cloud, IaC and AppSec findings and consolidates them with other scanners into one prioritised queue, adding immutable versioned VEX, Safe Harbour autofix/fix PRs, EOL policy and SSVC — capabilities Sysdig does not provide. Sysdig's runtime In-Use reachability, WAAS and Falco-based CDR remain its own live-workload strengths that Vulnetix ingests but does not run or replicate.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. Sysdig keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise Sysdig results in Vulnetix
Upload Sysdig SARIF, JSON output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
