Audience
Cloud-native security engineers, Kubernetes administrators, and DevOps teams seeking a proactive, policy-driven runtime security solution to harden containerized workloads and virtual machines across multi-cloud, edge, and IoT environments
About KubeArmor
KubeArmor is a cloud-native runtime security enforcement engine designed for Kubernetes workloads, containers, and virtual machines. It leverages eBPF and Linux Security Modules (LSMs) like AppArmor and SELinux to preemptively harden workloads and prevent attacks without modifying pods or containers. KubeArmor enforces real-time policy-based controls on process behavior, file access, networking, and resource usage. It simplifies complex security settings by providing Kubernetes-native policy management and detailed policy violation logging. Installation is straightforward via Helm charts, and it integrates seamlessly with multiple cloud marketplaces. KubeArmor’s proactive inline mitigation approach improves security beyond traditional post-attack responses.
