The Advantages of eBPF for CWPP Applications

Originally published by SentinelOne. Written by Rick Bosworth, SentinelOne. Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is a framework for loading and running user-defined programs within the Linux OS kernel, to observe, change, and respond to kernel behavior without the destabilizing impact of kernel modules. eBPF provides kernel-level visibility directly from user space. This combination of visibility and stability makes the eBPF framework particularly attractive for security applications. ...
