The Falco Playground - WebAssembly and Runtime Security

Explore the innovative Falco Playground in this 26-minute conference talk by Jason Dellaluce and Rohith Raju. Discover how the CNCF's Falco, a powerful runtime security tool for Linux systems and cloud logs, has been transformed into a web-based IDE. Learn about the challenges of porting a complex C++ codebase to WebAssembly, enabling Falco to run directly in browsers. Gain insights into the unique combination of web development and Linux kernel threat detection techniques. Understand the potential new opportunities for runtime detection that arise from Falco's increased portability. Delve into the development process of this backend-less web app, created as part of the Google Summer of Code initiative, and explore its implications for the future of cloud-native security.
