Container Runtime Security: Comparative Insights [2025]

Evaluating Detection, Response, and Prevention Capabilities Across Leading Tools

Security professionals face constant threats in dynamic containerized environments. This technical guide explores container runtime security tooling, breaking down the pros and cons of detection, response, and prevention capabilities. Discover how to mitigate TOCTOU vulnerabilities, reduce performance impact, and enforce zero-trust policies effectively for optimal container protection.

What’s Inside This Technical Guide?

  • Detailed Comparison: An in-depth analysis of Falco, KubeArmor, Tetragon, Tracee, NeuVector, and more.
  • Detection vs. Prevention: Pros and cons of detection-only, detect-and-respond, and inline prevention strategies.
  • Technical Insights: Role of eBPF, sandboxing, and zero-trust policies in runtime security.
  • Case Studies: Real-world examples of file integrity monitoring and policy enforcement techniques.
  • Performance Considerations: Evaluating ease of deployment, system performance impact, and compatibility with hardened distributions.

We made this resource to equip security professionals and DevOps teams with the knowledge to choose the best container runtime security solution for their workloads. By comparing industry-leading tools, you will understand core architectures, policy enforcement mechanics, and zero-trust principles to enhance container runtime defenses.
