Container Security
Sidecar-based Network Security using eBPF
Product Category
Objective
Enhance network security for containerized applications by implementing a sidecar pattern using eBPF to monitor and control network traffic.
Details
Sidecar Implementation: Deploy eBPF programs within sidecar containers to intercept and analyze network traffic to and from the main application container.
Network Policies: Define and enforce L4 and L7 network policies using eBPF for fine-grained control over allowed and denied traffic.
Traffic Anomalies Detection:Use eBPF to detect anomalous network behaviors such as DDoS attacks, port scanning, and unauthorized access attempts.
Telemetry and Logging: Collect detailed network telemetry and logs to provide insights into network traffic patterns and potential security incidents.
Use Case
By using a sidecar pattern, this implementation provides a non-intrusive method to enhance network security for containerized applications. It allows for real-time monitoring and enforcement of network policies, ensuring that only authorized traffic reaches the application containers, thus preventing potential network-based attacks.
