Understanding Process Behavior in Complex Environments

Understanding the intricate behavior of processes within their environments is an important requirement for many security teams. The sheer volume and complexity of modern applications and infrastructure can make detecting and responding to threats challenging.

Traditional security tooling often struggles to provide detailed, real-time information on process creation, execution, and termination, making it difficult to detect anomalies. Identifying whether processes are spawning unexpectedly, running with escalated privileges, or exiting abnormally is critical but can be cumbersome without the right tools.

Tetragon empowers security teams with actionable process insights

  • Process Lifecycle Monitoring

    Gain deep visibility into every process, including executed binaries, command-line arguments, UID, parent processes, and start time.

  • Kubernetes Integration

    Link processes to pods, namespaces, and labels, ensuring complete context in Kubernetes environments.

  • Early Threat Detection

    Advanced execution monitoring for ELF files, binaries, and privileged processes to detect potential threats early.

  • Suspicious Activity Analysis

    Identify processes with elevated privileges and suspicious parent-child relationships for actionable insights.
