Cloud-native threat detection with Falco

I speak with Thomas Labarussias of @sysdig about Falco, a cloud-native security tool designed for Linux systems.

Falco uses custom rules on kernel events, enriched with container and Kubernetes metadata, to provide real-time alerts and help you gain visibility into abnormal behavior, potential security threats, and compliance violations, contributing to comprehensive runtime security.

We talk a little Falco history, the project’s recent CNCF graduation, and new developments in the project to make the tool even more useful.

Disclaimer: We had some technical issues. Hopefully, I polished things just enough.
