Securing Kubernetes is one of the most difficult challenges in cloud security. From vulnerability and posture management to real-time threat detection, the rapid deployment cycles and complexity of containerized environments make it difficult to keep up. Now imagine an approach where Kubernetes security is supercharged by AI that actively partners with you across the entire security lifecycle — from build to runtime. 

Agentic AI is reshaping how organizations secure Kubernetes by reasoning about risk signals, prioritizing risks in a business context, and automating workflows to resolve threats quickly and effectively.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what’s possible when agentic AI is applied to Kubernetes security:
- Accelerating vulnerability management with intelligent prioritization that cuts through noise, automates remediation guidance, and saves you hours of time per week
- Strengthening posture management with AI-driven insights and analysis across clouds, clusters, workloads, and configurations to stay ahead of risk
- Responding to threats in real time by providing rapid insights and guiding responses to stop threats and minimize exposure fast.

Join us for the discussion and a live demonstration of agentic AI in practice — powered by Sysdig Sage™, the industry’s first agentic cloud security analyst. Kubernetes moves fast. You can move faster with cloud security, the right way.

Securing Kubernetes with Agentic AI: From Noise to Clarity

- Cut through the noise with cloud detection and response (CDR) that prioritizes what matters.
- Respond at runtime with inline response actions that stop threats before they spread.
- Automate compliance and remediation, reducing manual work while strengthening your security posture.
- Simplify operations with actionable workflows designed for cloud-native scale

You’ll walk away with practical insights on how to streamline incident response in the cloud—so your team spends less time chasing alerts and more time driving business forward.

Register today to see how automation can help you stay secure and compliant, without the complexity.

Streamlining Incident Response in the Cloud

In September 2025, researchers observed a supply-chain campaign in the NPM ecosystem using self-replicating malware to spread across maintainers’ packages. After executing during postinstall, the worm conducts local discovery, hunts for GitHub/NPM/cloud credentials, drops a malicious GitHub Action to exfiltrate secrets (often via webhook[.]site), and republishes infected versions of all packages owned by a compromised maintainer — accelerating propagation to hundreds of packages.

What You’ll takeaway:
- How Shai-Hulud works — post-install execution  (bundle.js), local discovery, credential theft, GitHub Action persistence, and automated NPM republishing.
- Why it’s a big deal — novel self-propagation within the NPM ecosystem; rapid spread to ~200 packages in the first 24 hours.
- How to detect it — runtime signals (e.g., suspicious bundle.js activity, trufflehog execution, outbound calls during install, unusual public repo creation) and detections available in Sysdig Secure and Falco. 
- What to do now — inventory checks for affected packages, version pinning/rollback, credential rotation, blocking npm where needed, and GitHub hygiene.

Alert Overload: Cutting Through Cloud Chaos to Find Real Threats

With the rapid rise of LLMs (Large Language Models) since mid 2024, attacks have rapidly become more frequent and sophisticated targeting vulnerabilities within these models. Cloud-based LLM usage costs can be staggering, surpassing several hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly, making them an attractive target for attackers. The Sysdig TRT since originally discovering LLMjacking in May 2024, has found over a dozen proxy servers using stolen credentials across many different services, including OpenAI, AWS, and Azure. Now, DeepSeek, since it was officially released, has also caught attackers’ attention, with many attackers flocking to the platform to further push the boundaries of LLMjacking.

In this webinar, Sysdig's Threat Research Teams experts Alessandro Brucato and Stefano Chierici discuss the evolution of LLMjacking attacks, including the targeting of DeepSeek. They detail the methods used by attackers, such as the use of OpenAI Reverse Proxies (ORPs), and will also discuss the costs associated with LLMjacking and provide best practices for detecting and combating LLMjacking.

Attackers will Attack: DeepSeek and LLMjacking target

Almost every cloud breach in recent years has taken advantage of mismanaged permissions, secrets, and identities. This session will dissect 8 real cloud breaches where attackers exploited insecure identities, each scenario unveiling unique insights, intriguing facets, and advice to mitigate similar risks. Themes include: Ownership of identity posture b/w Dev, Ops, & Sec is often unclear, leading to mistakes that stem from going fast. Automation tech, serverless functions, & cloud-native activities require authentication. Often, this is poorly managed, e.g., leaving secrets/credentials exposed in S3 state files (Human/machine identity management). MFA abuse through social engineering still works well. SaaS apps are huge attack surfaces, with credentials left everywhere: repos, Github, AD, and Slack. We will specifically highlight something interesting in each scenario and provide a key takeaway that is more useful than “lock your stuff down.”
