Closing the cloud security gap with runtime security

This article explains why posture-based cloud security alone is insufficient and advocates pairing it with runtime security to detect and contain active threats. It highlights gaps posture cannot close—such as zero-days (e.g., Log4Shell), supply chain compromises, unpatchable vulnerabilities, and identity misuse—and positions Sysdig’s Falco-powered CNAPP as a real-time detection and protection layer that complements shift-left practices and mature security programs.
