Protect your Docker containers using Falco security rules.

Falco is an open-source tool designed for real-time intrusion and anomaly detection in cloud-native platforms like Kubernetes and Docker, allowing users to create security policies to detect attacks and unauthorized activities. It offers a customizable ruleset syntax based on the Sysdig filtering language, which is simple to learn and similar to tcpdump syntax. Users can create specific security profiles for container images, defining which processes, connections, and system calls are permissible, thereby establishing a tightly controlled execution environment. Falco's default ruleset can be tailored to meet specific needs, with metadata from Kubernetes enhancing rule accuracy. Additionally, the tool integrates with Sysdig Inspect for detailed activity analysis and troubleshooting, and it encourages community contributions to its security library through a GitHub repository, fostering a collaborative approach to container security.
