Enforced, not just observed

Zero Trust

Security is built into every layer of the Ruckos Cloud platform — from the kernel to the certificate that terminates your traffic — not bolted on with agents and sidecars.

Security

Zero Trust
from the kernel up

RBAC is enforced at the API level, network policy is enforced at the kernel level, and every workload certificate is issued and rotated automatically.

eBPF policy enforcement

Tetragon enforces process, network, and file-access policy at the kernel level in real time — not just logging violations after the fact.

Zero-trust networking

Cilium enforces network policy and encrypts pod-to-pod traffic with eBPF — no service mesh, no sidecars, no added latency.

Automated certificate lifecycle

cert-manager issues and rotates every workload certificate from your own CA — no manual renewals, no expired certs taking down production.

Immutable attack surface

No SSH, no systemd, no package managers on nodes. A read-only root filesystem means nothing to patch and nowhere for an attacker to persist.

Ruckos

Telemetry converges
Ruckos analyzes

Tetragon captures eBPF security events, Alloy collects logs and metrics into Prometheus and Loki, and Cilium's WireGuard-encrypted dataplane reports every flow through Hubble. Ruckos ingests all of it, correlates the signals, and creates dashboards in Grafana to pin key insights during outages or incidents. Tetragon user-space agent automatically marries raw kernel events with Kubernetes metadata.

What Ruckos correlates from that telemetry

The same signal feeding Ruckos is what a real intrusion produces. Continuously validated against adversary emulation and purple-team frameworks, here's what each stage of a Kubernetes attack chain looks like once it hits the stack.
