Container Security
Enhancing Container Workload Security using eBPF
Product Category
Objective
Implement eBPF programs to enhance security for container workloads by providing deep visibility and control over network and system activities within the containerized environment.
Details
Network Monitoring: Use eBPF to capture and analyze network traffic at both L4 and L7 layers, integrating with Envoy Proxy for policy enforcement.
System Call Monitoring: Monitor and audit system calls within containers to detect and prevent malicious activities.
Policy Enforcement: Implement cluster-wide security policies using eBPF for consistent enforcement across all containers.
External Workload Support: Extend security capabilities to external workloads interacting with the containerized environment.
Use Case
This implementation provides comprehensive security for container workloads by leveraging eBPF to monitor, audit, and enforce policies on both network and system levels. It addresses the need for deep visibility into container activities and ensures that security policies are consistently applied across the entire container cluster.
