Enforce Before Execution.
Not After Detection.
Runtime security that learns your workloads and enforces in real time. Unknown processes are blocked before they execute — no rules to write, no signatures to maintain.
The Problem
Detection Finds Threats After Damage Is Done
Traditional runtime security monitors and alerts on suspicious behavior — but by the time a threat is detected, it has already executed, accessed files, and established persistence.
Detect After Execution
- 1Process spawns and begins execution
- 2Reads sensitive files, opens network sockets
- 3Exfiltrates data to external host
- 4Alert fires — seconds after damage is done
Block Before Execution
- 1Unknown process attempts to spawn
- 2Blocked at the kernel — zero instructions execute
Zero damage. Zero instructions. Zero exceptions.
How It Works
Three Modes. Zero Exceptions.
Deploy the eBPF agent, let it learn your workloads, then enforce with confidence. Each mode builds on the last.
Observe and Fingerprint
Deploy the eBPF agent and let it observe every process on the node. It builds a behavioral fingerprint for each workload, constructing the allow-set from real activity.
Identify Anomalies
Transition to audit mode. Unknown processes are logged without blocking — giving your team full visibility into what would be enforced before committing.
Block the Unknown
In enforce mode, any process not in the allow-set is blocked at the kernel level before execution. Zero-days and container escapes are stopped cold.
Capabilities
Built for the Kernel. Designed for Kubernetes.
Kernel-Level Enforcement
Blocks unknown processes before a single instruction executes — not after detection. Enforcement happens at the lowest level of the operating system.
Behavioral Fingerprinting
Every process earns its place through observed behavior, not just its path or name. Binary replacement attacks cannot bypass the fingerprint.
Container-Native
Allow-sets computed from container image digests. Policy follows workloads across nodes and restarts automatically.
Three Enforcement Dimensions
Process execution, network connections, and file access — all enforced independently or together.
What You Get
From Deploy to Enforce in Days, Not Months
No complex integrations, no rule-writing, no tuning. Deploy the agent, let it learn, and enforce when you're ready.
Deploy in Minutes
One DaemonSet, every node
A single Kubernetes manifest deploys to your entire cluster. No kernel modules to compile, no sidecars to manage, no application changes required.
See Before You Enforce
Confidence before commitment
Watch the system learn your workloads in real time. Audit mode shows you exactly what would be blocked — so you can verify coverage before flipping the switch.
Control Your Entire Fleet
One dashboard, every cluster
Manage enforcement across all your clusters from a single console. Roll out policies per-node with canary support and automatic rollback if something doesn't look right.
Compatibility
Deploys Wherever Kubernetes Runs
A single DaemonSet deploys to every node in your cluster. Any distribution, any cloud, any architecture running Linux.
