Project Facts
Project Origin
Falco was created as a cloud native runtime security project by Sysdig. The project was contributed to the CNCF in October 2018. Falco is a CNCF incubating project with more than 170 individual contributors around the world.
Project Description
Cloud Native Runtime Security
Project Blurbs
25-word description
Falco is the open source standard for threat detection across Kubernetes, containers, hosts and the cloud to detect and stop attacks.
50-word description
Falco is the open source standard for threat detection across Kubernetes, containers, hosts and the cloud. Runtime security with Falco provides visibility into unexpected behavior, config changes, intrusions, and data theft in real time, so you can detect and stop attacks. Falco uses state-of-the-art eBPF technology for workload visibility.
100-word description
Falco is the open source standard for threat detection across Kubernetes, containers, hosts and the cloud. Runtime security with Falco provides visibility into unexpected behavior, config changes, intrusions, and data theft in real time, so you can detect and stop attacks. Falco uses state-of-the-art eBPF technology to monitor workloads, and can protect cloud services such as AWS CloudTrail, GitHub or Okta. Falco is supported by a global multi-vendor ecosystem, and is hosted by the CNCF, home of the Kubernetes project.
Project Encouraged Phrasing
The phrases below are effective ways of messaging Falco's value add. Use them when writing or speaking publicly about Falco. You can also reference language in the About Falco section.
Falco is the open source standard for threat detection
This statement refers to Falco as a CNCF incubating project with widespread adoption and broad community leadership.
Falco is a rules engine that powers runtime security
This term refers to the concept that Falco is a stateless processing engine. A large amount of data comes into the engine, but meticulously crafted security alerts come out. It reasons about signals coming from a system at runtime, and can alert if a threat is detected.
Falco provides real time threat detection
Falco provides streaming detection of unexpected behavior, configuration changes, and attacks. With this streaming approach, Falco enables real-time response while minimizing storage costs and complexity.
Falco delivers detection tooling and alerts
Falco does not prevent unwanted behavior, rather it alerts when unusual behavior, config changes, intrusions and data theft occurs. This is commonly referred to as detection or forensics.
