Jibril: Runtime Security Engine

Last updated 16 days ago

Jibril is the underlying eBPF-based sensor technology that performs the monitoring, detection, and blocking capabilities for the Garnet ecosystem. It is the engine that powers Garnet, designed for high performance and low overhead.

Key aspects of Jibril include:

  • eBPF Foundation: Utilizes eBPF for safe and efficient kernel-level monitoring of system activities (processes, files, network).

  • Behavioral Detection: Employs sophisticated behavioral analysis to identify known threats (like crypto miners or connections to C2 servers) and novel anomalies.

  • Active Blocking: Can be configured to actively block detected malicious activities, preventing threats in real-time.

  • Low Overhead: Engineered for minimal CPU and memory footprint, making it suitable for both development pipelines and resource-sensitive production environments.

While Jibril can be used as a standalone sensor, it is most powerfully leveraged when managed by the Garnet Platform, which provides centralized control, configuration, and alert management for Jibril agents deployed across your environments.

(For a more detailed exploration of Jibril's architecture, capabilities, and standalone usage, please refer to the section and the official .)
