From Detection to Action: Introducing Real-Time Response using eBPF agents

Stream.Security has introduced Workload Response Actions to enhance its response capabilities by enabling real-time threat containment in workloads directly from the investigation workflow, using the same agents responsible for detection. This addition bridges the gap between threat detection and response, which traditionally involved delays due to manual processes like triaging alerts and filing tickets. Analysts can now execute immediate actions on workloads across various platforms such as Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, or bare-metal infrastructure without additional tools or context switching. The actions include process control, network containment, container operations, and filesystem quarantine, all executed by lightweight eBPF-based agents with rigorous safety measures to prevent self-harm and ensure system integrity. These responses are automated, secure, and leave a comprehensive audit trail, reducing the mean time to containment from minutes to seconds in cloud-native environments. The system is designed to be simple, resilient, and requires no infrastructure changes, with AI-driven orchestration further enhancing decision-making for minimal disruption during containment or remediation actions. Current customers can enable these response capabilities with an update to their runtime agent, allowing them to manage threats more efficiently.
