Falco Rules is a repository containing officially managed detection rules by The Falco Project for identifying security threats, abnormal behaviors, and compliance violations.
The repository provides pre-defined detection rules that monitor syscalls and container events to identify suspicious activities in runtime environments. Users can leverage community-contributed rules or develop custom detection logic tailored to their specific security requirements.
The rules focus on runtime security monitoring, enabling detection of various threat patterns including unauthorized access attempts, privilege escalation, and anomalous system behavior. The repository supports modification and customization of existing rules to adapt to different environments and security policies.
Documentation includes a Rules Overview Document and regular release notes that provide updates on new threat patterns and system compatibility. The project maintains an active development cycle with contributions from the security community to address evolving threats and system changes.
