Session
In the fight to secure Kubernetes, we’re assembling a team of "Security Avengers" to defend your clusters from modern threats. Among the CNCF’s eBPF-based tools—Falco, Tetragon, KubeArmor, and Kubescape—each brings unique strengths, much like the Avengers. Despite their shared mission, their distinct features, architectures, and resource impacts make selecting the right "hero" a strategic decision.
This session unveils benchmarking results to help you choose the best fit for your Kubernetes security needs. We’ll explore key questions:
- What specialized features does each tool offer?
- How complex are setup and maintenance?
- How effectively do they detect and defend against attacks?
- What performance impact do they have?
Join us to compare these Kubernetes guardians, evaluate their real-world pros and cons, and discover the "Security Avenger" that aligns with your cluster’s defense strategy.
