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.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

A practical guide to rolling out Tetragon for kernel-level runtime visibility, covering policy authoring, performance overhead, and integration with existing detection pipelines.
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.
A practical look at Cilium Tetragon for Kubernetes runtime security, what eBPF gives you that audit logs do not, and where Tetragon fits in a real stack.
A pragmatic deployment guide for Falco 0.41 in production Kubernetes: driver selection, rule tuning, alert routing, and the operational debt teams underestimate.
Field notes on running Tetragon, Falco, and Cilium eBPF controls in production Kubernetes clusters, with observed overhead, policy traps, and kernel constraints.
