Falco

Cloud-native runtime security for hosts and containers

About Falco

A cloud-native security tool designed to detect anomalous activity in hosts and containers at runtime, using rules on system calls to alert on suspicious behaviour in Kubernetes environments. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
