Measuring eBPF Overhead in Production Kubernetes Clusters

We instrumented 14 production clusters across three cloud providers to measure the real CPU and memory cost of eBPF-based runtime telemetry. Here is what we found — and where the numbers get interesting.

Why CVSS Scores Fail Platform Teams and What Runtime Reachability Fixes

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.

Using Runtime Execution Graphs to Scope Incidents in Under 10 Minutes

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.

Blast Radius Estimation With Cloud Posture and Service Lineage

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.

Kernel Probes vs Sidecar Proxies: A Telemetry Architecture Comparison

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.

Continuous SOC2 Evidence Collection With Runtime Telemetry

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.
