Fix What Matters, Faster: How Semgrep and Sysdig Are Unifying Security from Code to Runtime

From code to production, with context

In today’s cloud-native world, security teams face an impossible task: act faster, with fewer resources, in environments that change constantly. And even when critical risks are detected, the hardest part is often just beginning: how do you get the right fix to the right team, fast?

At Semgrep, we believe that accurate, developer-friendly findings are the foundation. But we also know they’re not enough on their own. That’s why we’ve partnered with Sysdig, a leader in real-time cloud security, to deliver unified code-to-cloud visibility, connecting static analysis with runtime intelligence so teams can detect risk in production and resolve it at the source.

“At Semgrep, we’ve always believed that accurate findings are necessary but not sufficient. By connecting code to cloud, we’re giving teams the context they need to focus on the bugs that truly matter. Exchanging data with CNAPPs like Sysdig opens up a new frontier for AppSec.”
Luke O’Malley, Co-founder, Semgrep

Bridging build-time and runtime with shared context

Historically, security signals have lived in silos. Semgrep might surface a critical vulnerability in code, but without knowing whether it’s actually deployed or internet-facing, teams struggle to prioritize. Likewise, a runtime alert from Sysdig might signal a live exploit path, but tracing it back to a specific repo, file, or owner can take days.

Together, Semgrep and Sysdig are changing that.

By integrating Semgrep’s static code analysis and ownership signals with Sysdig’s runtime insights and cloud posture data, we’re making it possible to:

  • Identify whether code is actually deployed, and in which environment

  • Link runtime alerts to the exact file, function, and team that introduced the risk

  • Prioritize static findings based on production relevance and exposure

  • Deliver actionable, contextual fix guidance to developers who can act on it

From noise to signal, from detection to resolution

With Sysdig and Semgrep, security teams no longer have to choose between speed and signal. They can move beyond raw findings to real understanding: what’s deployed, what’s exposed, and what’s actually vulnerable.

That means:

  • Fewer alerts that go nowhere

  • Faster response when incidents occur

  • Better collaboration between AppSec and engineering

  • More trust in the security process overall

Building real bridges across teams

Our goal is to make security something developers want to adopt, not avoid. That’s why this partnership works: Sysdig speaks the language of runtime and production, while Semgrep brings deep code awareness and developer context.

Together, we’re helping teams move past handoffs and toward shared workflows. Instead of vague alerts and manual triage, teams get precise, routed findings with built-in fix recommendations and code ownership data.

"By layering Semgrep's code context with Sysdig's runtime insights, security teams can quickly filter out noise, trace runtime threats to their source, and route fixes directly to the right developers. It's a smarter, faster path from detection to resolution."
Phil Williams, SVP Corporate Development, Sysdig

A shared vision

This integration isn’t just technical. It’s a shared belief and mindset that security should enable speed, not slow down developers, development, or teams. That context beats coverage. And that when runtime and build-time insights come together, teams don’t just detect risk, they fix what matters.
