Article: Kernel-Level Ground Truth: Why eBPF is Replacing User-Space Agents for Security Observability (opens in new tab)

eBPF is emerging as a preferred method for security observability over traditional user-space agents. By attaching probes directly to the Linux kernel's syscall interface, it provides consistent visibility even during container-level compromises. eBPF reduces security-related CPU consumption and limits data volume by performing filtering at the kernel level, enhancing operational efficiency.
