What is Falco?

Falco is an open-source runtime security tool for detecting anomalous activity in Kubernetes and other containerized environments. It monitors system calls at the kernel level and leverages a powerful rules engine to identify and alert on suspicious behavior, policy violations, intrusions, and data theft attempts. Falco is commonly used for threat detection, incident response, and security auditing in cloud-native environments.
