Falco vs. Tetragon vs. Tracee: choosing a Kubernetes runtime security tool
Falco graduated CNCF in February 2024, Tetragon enforces in-kernel, and Tracee ships 330+ prebuilt eBPF detections — here's when each one actually wins.
Container Runtime Security Monitoring: Catching the Breach in Progress
Scanning tells you what could go wrong before deploy. Runtime monitoring tells you what is going wrong right now. Here is how to detect container attacks as they happen.
Runtime security tools for Kubernetes clusters
A concrete look at Kubernetes runtime security tools — Falco, Tetragon, Tracee, eBPF, and recent CVEs — and what to check before you buy one.
Falco 0.40: Modern eBPF Is Now Default
Falco's 0.40 release line makes modern eBPF (CO-RE) the default driver, deprecates the legacy probe and gVisor engine, and changes how operators ship Falco. Here's what changed and what to test.
Tetragon vs Falco: 2026 Runtime Security Field Test
Both Tetragon and Falco run on eBPF and both ship as CNCF projects. We benched them side by side on a 400-node cluster — coverage, overhead, and enforcement behavior.
How to configure Falco for runtime security monitoring
A practical walkthrough to configure Falco runtime security in Kubernetes: install, customize rules, route alerts, tune noise, and verify detection end-to-end.
Deploying Falco for Runtime Security in 2026
A pragmatic deployment guide for Falco 0.41 in production Kubernetes: driver selection, rule tuning, alert routing, and the operational debt teams underestimate.
Container Runtime Security Monitoring: Catching What Scanners Miss
Image scanning finds known vulnerabilities before deployment. Runtime monitoring catches actual exploitation, zero-days, and behavioral anomalies after deployment. You need both.
