Cilium eBPF dominates East-West cluster networking by bypassing the TCP/IP stack via sockops and cutting 92% RAM with node-level Envoy daemons. The 2026 standard combines both. ...

Tech Radar: eBPF Zero-Trust Security for AI Agents with Tetragon 1.4 Answer-First: Granting tool-execution permissions to AI Agents dramatically expands the attack surface for Remote Code Execution (RCE) via Indirect Prompt Injection. Cilium Tetragon 1.4 leverages eBPF probes inside the Linux kernel to intercept unauthorized system calls (execve, socket, openat), executing in-kernel SIGKILL enforcement in under 15 microseconds before malicious payloads can spawn reverse shells or exfiltrate credentials. 1. The Emerging Threat Vector: Autonomous Agent Prompt Injection RCE In modern agentic architectures, autonomous agents are granted tool execution permissions across the host environment: ...
