Linux and Containers can’t protect themselves
... from the INSIDE.
Fatal architectural flaw:
Circular security logic &
the attacker’s off-switch.
the attacker’s off-switch.
There will always be vulnerabilities in the Linux or container runtime which attackers can exploit. Security controls that run inside Linux and containers are, therefore, equally vulnerable to exploit and bypass. All “inside-the-box” security controls can be disarmed – silently – by an attacker.
Operational problems:
Container security side-cars:

What’s not to like?
Slower performance, a highly privileged attack surface and deployment complexity … to name a few.

Repurposed for security, highly privileged and incredibly flexible, eBPF has exposed a powerful and
exploitable attack surface.

just don’t mix.

A lack of container-centric telemetry and signature load times that slow down short-lived containers leaves a gap in workload security.
BedRock Protects Linux and Container runtime
… from the OUTSIDE.
What is BedRock
Foundational Runtime
Security Layer.
BedRock runs UNDERNEATH Linux and the container host. Immune to exploits within Linux and the container host, BedRock looks up and protects the runtime integrity of Linux and container workloads from the OUTSIDE.
What makes BedRock different
High
Performance.
Performance.
BedRock enables real-time introspection and integrity protection at line-speed, avoiding the overhead and complexity of side-cars and agents.
No Noise.
No Signatures.
No Signatures.
From its unique vantage point, BedRock can clearly see, alert, and even prevent attacks against runtime integrity -- including privilege escalation, remote code execution, root kit installation and container escapes, the instant they are attempted.
Strong Runtime Isolation.
No Escape.
No Escape.
BedRock assures runtime memory isolation between between container workloads and the container host, preventing attackers from escaping laterally and/or vertically.
