Machine Learning-Powered CDR – Daniella Pontes & Anna Belak, Sysdig

Sysdig recently announced machine learning-powered cloud detection and response (CDR) to combat cryptojacking. The company’s threat engine and detection algorithms block cryptojacking in the cloud with 99% precision. The longer cryptojacking goes undetected, the greater the financial impact. While the average increase in a monthly bill varies by report, it is not uncommon for cryptojackers to run up a $100,000 – $500,000 bill in a single month. Time is of the essence.
