At Sysdig we’ve recently undergone a pretty interesting shift in our core instrumentation technology, adapting our agent to take advantage of eBPF – a core part of the Linux kernel. Sysdig now supports eBPF as an alternative to our Sysdig kernel module-based architecture. Today we are excited to share more details about our integration and the inner workings of eBPF. To celebrate this exciting technology we’re publishing a series of articles entirely dedicated to eBPF.

Today we’ve announced that we’ve officially added eBPF instrumentation to extend container observability with Sysdig monitoring, security and forensics solutions. eBPF – extended Berkeley Packet Filter – is a Linux-native in-kernel virtual machine that enables secure, low-overhead tracing for application performance and event observability and analysis.

Today at Think 2019 we’re announcing our intent to work with IBM to support the Sysdig Cloud-Native Intelligence Platform on IBM Cloud Private and IBM Multicloud Manager. By supporting IBM Multicloud Manager and IBM Cloud Private, Sysdig will help IBM customers accelerate the transition to cloud architectures.

Earlier today, CVE-2019-5736 was announced regarding a runC container breakout. Given the high CVSS rating of 7.2, it is imperative to quickly patch your systems.

Kubernetes Pod Security Policy is a mechanism to enforce best security practices in Kubernetes. In this tutorial, we will explain how to enable Kubernetes Pod Security Policy across your cluster using kube-psp-advisor to address the practical challenges of building an adaptive and fine-grained security policy on Kubernetes in production.
