Enhancing Container Workload Security using eBPF

Product Category

Container Security

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.
