The presentation discusses how Falco, an open-source project for runtime security, can be extended to monitor capabilities and detect potential malicious behavior in Kubernetes clusters.
- Falco is an open-source project for runtime security that has become the de facto standard for Kubernetes security.
- Capabilities in Kubernetes can create a gray area in security monitoring, and Falco can be extended to monitor capabilities and detect potential malicious behavior.
- The presenters created two rules using Falco to detect excessive capabilities in new containers and modifications to the release agent file.
- Falco only monitors runtime security and does not consider configuration changes in the YAML files.
- Falco can be deployed on Kubernetes using official charts and packages.
