Benelux leads in cloud security (and here's where)
The Benelux region outperforms global averages in cloud-native security. Sometimes significantly. That's according to the new Sysdig & TrueFullstaq 2025 Cloud-Native Security and Usage Report, featuring exclusive regional data.
Identity security: where Benelux shines
Organizations here maintain far fewer risky service accounts than the global average. And risky user accounts? Practically non-existent in the region. This isn't luck. It points to systematic implementation of least-privilege and zero-trust policies. While others talk about it, Benelux organizations actually do it.
Quietly ahead in automation
Benelux teams are leading the way in automating incident response. Not full automation, but selective automation for specific alert types. When cloud attacks can happen in under 10 minutes, that head start matters.

Open source as default
The Netherlands accounts for the majority of Falco downloads in the region. That's the open source threat detection tool used by 60% of Fortune 500 companies. Why does this matter? Because organizations are prioritizing transparency and data sovereignty over proprietary black boxes. They want to know exactly what their security tools are doing.
From AI skeptic to convert
Benelux started 2024 cautious about GenAI security solutions. Significantly more cautious than the rest of the world. But something shifted in early 2025. Organizations figured out how to deploy AI securely. The numbers tell that story clearly – but you'll need to download the report to see just how dramatic the change was.
Setting the standard
If Brussels sets regulatory standards for Europe, the Benelux region seems to be setting the practical security standards. Compliance-driven, yes. But also pragmatic and innovative.
The question is: how does your organization compare?
