Sidecar-based System Call Auditing using eBPF

Product Category

Container Security

Objective

Implement a sidecar pattern to monitor and audit system calls made by containerized applications, enhancing overall security and compliance.

Details

Sidecar Deployment: Use sidecar containers to run eBPF programs that monitor system calls made by the main application containers.

System Call Filtering: Implement eBPF-based filters to detect and block potentially harmful system calls that could lead to security breaches.

Compliance Monitoring: Ensure compliance with security standards by auditing system calls and generating reports on system call activities.

Intrusion Detection: Use eBPF to detect unusual or unauthorized system call patterns that may indicate a security breach or malicious activity.

Use Case

This sidecar-based approach provides a robust mechanism for monitoring and auditing system calls in containerized environments. It enhances security by detecting and preventing malicious activities at the system call level, ensuring that containers operate within defined security policies and compliance requirements.
