# Runtime Protection for Containerized Workloads

Validate what actually runs in production, detect drift from approved baselines, and maintain a defensible near-zero CVE posture at runtime.

## Most Container Risk Comes From Software That Never Runs

### Images and scans

Images and scans show what is packaged, not what executes

### Runtime behavior

Changes after deployment due to drift and configuration variance

### Security teams

Security teams lack evidence that production matches approved builds

## Build-Time Controls Cannot Prove Runtime Integrity

### Evidence expectations

Approved images can diverge from what actually runs in clusters.

Vulnerable components may remain active even after remediation at build time.

Auditors and customers increasingly ask for runtime-verifiable evidence.

## Runtime Visibility and Evidence

RBOM artifacts tied to live workloads.

Detection of drift from approved images and configurations.

Clear confirmation of which components are actually active in production.

## Operational and Security Outcomes

### Reduction in CVE Noise

Maintain a near-zero CVE posture beyond build time.

### Kernel Agents Required

Reduce uncertainty during incidents and security reviews.

### Real-time Verification

Provide continuous, runtime-verified evidence for audits and compliance.

## Start from a Secure Foundation

Eliminate inherited risk, standardize hardened images, and accelerate security and compliance from the first layer up.
