SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides real-time threat detection for cloud-native environments, identifying suspicious activity and policy violations as they happen.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Runtime Security Monitoring: Continuously monitors system calls and container activity.
  • Threat Detection: Identifies known and unknown threats based on predefined rules.
  • Use Case: Detect if a newly deployed microservice is attempting to access sensitive system files or establish unexpected network connections, alerting you to a potential compromise.

Quick Start

Use the Falco skill to scan the current Kubernetes cluster for runtime security threats.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect runtime security threats in Kubernetes containers?

To detect runtime security threats in Kubernetes containers, you need to monitor system calls and container activity. This approach identifies suspicious behavior and policy violations in real-time as they happen within your cloud-native environment.

What is runtime threat detection for cloud-native applications?

Runtime threat detection for cloud-native applications is the continuous monitoring of system calls and container behavior to identify anomalies. It catches known and unknown threats by applying predefined security rules to live cluster activity.

Do I need Falco installed to monitor container activity?

Yes, you need Falco installed and configured in your Kubernetes or Linux environment. It must be set up to generate alerts based on security rules so that system calls and container activity can be effectively monitored for anomalies.

How do I scan a Kubernetes cluster for anomalous system calls?

Scanning a Kubernetes cluster for anomalous system calls requires continuously monitoring container behavior against predefined security rules. This process alerts you to potential compromises like unexpected network connections or access to sensitive system files.

Can runtime security monitoring detect unexpected network connections in microservices?

Yes, runtime security monitoring can detect unexpected network connections in microservices. By continuously tracking system calls and container activity, it alerts you to potential policy violations and suspicious connections indicating a compromise.
