BPF Security

Definitions

1. Security monitoring, enforcement, or isolation techniques built on Berkeley Packet Filter or extended BPF capabilities in the kernel. BPF security is powerful because it can observe or mediate low-level behavior with less overhead than older approaches.

   In plain English: Security techniques built on low-level BPF or eBPF capabilities in the operating system.

   Example: "The platform adopted BPF security tooling to monitor suspicious syscalls across containers."
