Comparisons anchored on Falco, the Apache-2.0 CNCF graduated runtime security tool: against Tetragon and Tracee, and between its eBPF and kernel module drivers.
Falco's user-space rule engine and alerting against Tetragon's in-kernel filtering and enforcement through TracingPolicy resources: detection versus blocking, rule authoring, Cilium dependence, overhead to measure and which teams each suits.
Falco against Aqua Security's Tracee for eBPF runtime detection: governance (CNCF graduated versus vendor project), built-in detections, policy formats, forensics features, release activity and integration with alerting pipelines.
The three-way Kubernetes runtime security shortlist: alert-first Falco, enforcement-capable Tetragon and forensics-oriented Tracee, compared on approach, policy model, maintainers, Kubernetes deployment and when to pick each.
Choosing Falco's driver: the default CO-RE modern eBPF probe against the kernel module, with kernel version and build considerations, managed Kubernetes node constraints where loading kernel modules is restricted, and how to test each driver on your nodes.
