Case Study: BlaBlaCar achieves developer-led secure DevOps with Sysdig

The BlaBlaCar Security Team of 4 Empowers Developers to Manage Security Risk with Sysdig

BlaBlaCar, the world’s leading long‑distance carpooling marketplace with 90 million members across 22 countries, needed to secure a growing container environment after adding 120+ GKE nodes. A security team of four had to support 200+ developers by detecting suspicious activity and misconfigurations, automating alerts and incident response, and securing containers without adding operational overhead.

They selected Sysdig (built on Falco and eBPF) for its SaaS ease‑of‑deployment, deep visibility, forensics, and fine‑tunable rules. Sysdig’s actionable alerts (delivered via PagerDuty with remediation guidance) let developers own security across the container lifecycle, keeping the security team small while improving detection, response, and overall secure DevOps efficiency.
