Endpoint Security

Security for endpoints — Linux hardening, host-based intrusion detection, and runtime security.

Sections

Linux Hardening

IDS/IPS

  • IPS — Network and host-based intrusion detection (Suricata, Wazuh HIDS)

Falco

  • Falco — Runtime security for Kubernetes and Linux

Endpoint Security Layers

  1. Hardening — Reduce attack surface (disable services, patch)
  2. Access Control — PAM, sudo, file permissions
  3. Monitoring — Logs, audit, syscall monitoring
  4. Detection — IDS, file integrity, rootkit detection
  5. Response — Auto-isolate, block, notify
