Case Study: Retail tech company achieves 3× remediation speed and zero downtime with Sysdig

Retail Tech Company triples threat remediation speed with Sysdig

A retail tech company, a leading e-commerce returns platform, faced critical visibility gaps in its Kubernetes environment after a misconfiguration left workloads unmonitored. During their peak post-holiday season, this blind spot was exploited by attackers using advanced lateral movement and a stealthy rootkit called Perfctl. Traditional security tools failed to detect the threat, putting customer trust and revenue at risk with zero tolerance for downtime. They turned to the vendor Sysdig and its Sysdig Secure solution for help.

Sysdig provided real-time, in-container telemetry and forensics, enabling the team to quickly understand and contain the attack. By restoring full agent coverage and implementing policy-as-code guardrails, they eradicated the threat without any downtime or customer impact. As a result, the company tripled its threat remediation speed, achieved a 680% return on investment, and strengthened its automated defenses against future attacks.
