At Stream.Security, we believe the foundation of robust Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) lies in real-time visibility across your entire multi-cloud environment. That’s why our unique approach starts with an agentless methodology, creating a real-time model of your cloud infrastructure to provide immediate insights into attacks at the network, identity, and application log layers. This foundational layer which is enabled by Stream’s CloudTwin is critical because it gives SecOps teams a comprehensive understanding of an attack as it unfolds, spanning network traffic, user and machine behavior, infrastructure changes, and application activity.

This contrasts sharply with building CDR on top of traditional posture management tools that rely on periodic scans or snapshots. These approaches inherently create blind spots, leaving you vulnerable to threats that evolve between scans. Our agentless, real-time approach eliminates these gaps, providing continuous visibility into the attacks.

However, even with this broad visibility, there are scenarios where deeper, workload-level insights are beneficial. One of the major benefits of marrying cloud workload posture with real time detection and response is eliminating the silos that often exist between SecOps, Cloud Security, and DevOps.  These gaps are increasingly prompting CISOs to seek platforms that foster collaboration and efficiency to limit blind spots and accelerate MTTR.  

Stream Security is committed to an integration-first, vendor-agnostic “bring your own agent” approach to workload integration.  

That's why we offer two powerful ways to extend our real-time CDR platform with workload observability:

1. Integration with Existing Run-time Agents: If your organization already utilizes agents like CrowdStrike, SentinelOne,  Palo Alto Cortex, or any third-party run-time solution, Stream seamlessly integrates with these platforms. This allows you to leverage your existing investments while enriching your threat detection capabilities with our real-time, agentless foundation.

2. New Integration with Open Source eBPF via Tetragon: We are thrilled to announce our new integration with Tetragon, a powerful open-source eBPF-based security observability tool. This integration provides a managed eBPF solution, simplifying deployment and management while delivering deep, kernel-level insights into your Kubernetes workloads.

Stream allows enterprises to reduce total cost of ownership while preventing vendor lock-in when an organization's security ecosystem dictates a best of breed approach versus the platformatization that many organizations are becoming increasingly wary of.  

The Power of Workload Observability: Adding Container-Level Insights to Real-Time CDR with Tetragon’s eBPF Solution

While our agentless approach provides a holistic view, integrating with agents at the workload level offers granular insights into what's happening within your Kubernetes pods and containers. For customers who don’t have an existing agent solution for workload management, Stream is pleased to introduce integration with Tetragon’s eBPF agent.  This is where the power of eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) comes into play. eBPF allows for safe and efficient monitoring of kernel-level events, providing a rich stream of data about process executions, network connections, file access, and system calls.

This additional layer of observability is invaluable for:

• Detecting sophisticated threats: Attacks that operate within containers, such as lateral movement or privilege escalation, can be challenging to detect with network and log analysis alone. eBPF-based agents provide the necessary visibility into these internal activities.

• Enhancing investigation and forensics: When an alert is triggered, having access to granular workload data allows security teams to quickly understand the scope and impact of the attack, facilitating faster and more accurate incident response.

• Improving compliance and governance: Detailed workload monitoring can help organizations meet compliance requirements and gain a deeper understanding of their security posture.
