This ebook explains how Falco, created by Sysdig and released in 2016, became a widely adopted runtime threat detection engine for containers, cloud, and Kubernetes, including CNCF graduation in 2024 after a long diligence process and a third-party security audit. It argues that adding an enterprise experience around Falco, through Sysdig’s CNAPP and cloud detection and response, helps teams detect, investigate, and respond faster at cloud speed. It highlights outcomes from users who expanded from Falco to Sysdig (such as improved visibility and reduced alerts) and introduces Falco Feeds, which provides continuously updated rules, compliance tagging, noise reduction, and richer context for organizations that want to keep an open source Falco deployment.
