Tetragon is a security observability tool that can be used to detect and prevent malicious behavior in a Kubernetes cluster.
  • Tetragon is a daemon set that can run on virtual machines or other external entities directly
  • It instruments the Linux kernel on every node in a cluster to detect events such as process executions, file access, TCP patterns, namespace escapes, and privileged escalations
  • Tetragon can also expose metrics for HTTP, DNS, and TLS, making it easy to audit compliance controls
  • Context is king in security observability, and Tetragon provides a lot of context by giving detailed information about the events it detects
