Outputting Alerts
In addition to the standard Unix-like syslog log forwarding, there are other ways to receive alerts from Falco. To use syslog, you can simply tweak your configuration this way:
syslog_output: enabled: true
But to use ChatOps alerts, via Slack, for example, Sysdig has created a repository in GitHub (github.com/falcosecurity/falcosidekick) to assist with just that.
The documentation describes the service that the code will provide as “a simple daemon for enhancing available outputs for Falco.” The list of compatible recipients is lengthy and includes most of the usual suspects, such as Slack, Datadog, AWS Lambda, Opsgenie, Rocketchat, and SMTP for email.
A nice touch is that you can even spawn it as another container; to do that, you would use syntax such as this:
$ docker run -d -p 2801:2801 -e SLACK_WEBHOOKURL=XXXXX \ falcosecurity/falcosidekick
Additionally, the documentation provides lots of pointers on how to tweak each of the webhook outputs to your needs and enjoy real-time messaging as you want in order to set off emergency pagers at 4 a.m. or just report innocuous events to a chat channel.
Summary
There is no doubt that Falco offers extensive security functionality for both container runtime and hosts. It also plays nicely with Kubernetes, and as of version v0.13.0 API Audit Events can be captured as an event source so that Falco can be rolled out across a cluster to offer genuine insight into what containers and hosts are getting up to in the quiet hours. Supported Kubernetes actions from Falco include the creation and deletion of resources (pods, deployments, daemon sets, and so on), changes to ConfigMaps and secrets, volume mounts, host networking, granting cluster-admin access, and using ConfigMaps for overly sensitive information.
Even the Open Source version of Falco is an impressive, battle-hardened piece of software. And, its commercial products have a notable enterprise client list using the paid-for Enterprise Falco and Sysdig Secure products. If you are to trust your cloud estate with security tools running with elevated permissions, then clearly it makes sense to use the most reputable tool that you can find on the market to avoid bouts of insomnia.
