Sysdig, Thursday, September 17th, 2026
An introductory guide to runtime security concepts and deploying Falco for Kubernetes threat detection.
Sysdig provides an entry-level introduction to runtime security and the open source Falco project. The post explains why scanning and posture management alone miss attacks that only manifest at execution time.
It walks through Falco's rule model, event sources, and basic deployment into a Kubernetes cluster. Readers new to runtime detection get a practical starting path toward monitoring live workload behavior.
