vArmor
vArmor is a cloud-native container sandbox system that leverages Linux's AppArmor, BPF, and Seccomp technologies to enhance container security. It is designed to strengthen container isolation, reduce the kernel attack surface, and increase the difficulty of container escape or lateral movement attacks.
Key Features:
- Multiple Enforcers: Abstracts AppArmor, BPF, and Seccomp as enforcers, allowing their use individually or in combination.
- Allow-by-Default Model: Focuses on blocking only explicitly declared behaviors, minimizing performance impact.
- Built-in Rules: Comes with a range of built-in rules ready to use out of the box, eliminating the need for security profile expertise.
- Behavior Modeling: Supports behavior modeling for workloads to develop allowlist profiles and enhance security.
- Deny-by-Default Capability: Can create allowlist profiles ensuring only explicitly declared behaviors are permitted.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Security: Provides robust protection for critical business containers against privilege escalation and lateral movement.
- Ease of Use: Simplifies the implementation of security measures with built-in rules and behavior modeling.
- Active Development: Continuously updated by the Elkeid Team at ByteDance, ensuring ongoing improvements and support.
Use Cases:
- Ideal for Kubernetes clusters needing sandbox protection for containers.
- Useful in scenarios with high-risk vulnerabilities where immediate remediation is not feasible.
