Technical writing from the Primod team — eBPF internals, CVE prioritization methodology, and runtime security architecture.

Falco is an open-source detection engine you run and tune yourself. Primod is a commercial runtime security platform built around the investigation. A fair comparison of what each gives a security team.
CTO, Primod
Tetragon gives platform teams precise eBPF observability and in-kernel enforcement through tracing policies. Primod adds the investigation and vulnerability workflows on top of a sensor. Where each fits.

Compare detection workflows, policy, enforcement, and operational requirements when evaluating Falco and Tetragon.

SBOMs tell you which components are present. VEX tells you whether a supplier says a product is affected. Neither can prove whether a vulnerable path executed in your cluster, which is why platform teams should separate supply-chain assertions from runtime evidence.

Pod Security Admission, CEL policies, and admission webhooks can reject unsafe manifests before they land in etcd. They still do not tell you what a workload executed after startup, which is why platform teams should separate preventive policy from runtime evidence.

A CVE with a 9.8 score that never executes in your environment is less dangerous than a 5.3 that runs on every request. We built a scoring model around this idea.

Traditional incident scope relies on logs, alerts, and educated guesses. Execution graphs change that. We walk through a real incident timeline and show the difference.

Knowing a vulnerability is reachable is step one. Knowing which downstream services it can propagate to is what turns a finding into a prioritized action.

Two fundamentally different approaches to runtime visibility. One lives in the kernel, one lives next to your container. We compare latency, fidelity, and operational cost.

Audit season should not mean two weeks of manual log exports. Here is how runtime execution data maps to SOC2 CC6 controls and what auditors actually ask for.
