Falco is used for threat detection by big tech and startups alike, across every major cloud platform, and in large on-premise installations.

our story

We built on a heritage of detection and forensics.
Years before anyone learned how to pronounce Kubernetes, we set the course for container and cloud threat detection, and ensured it was built on an open source platform.

More than twenty years ago, we created Wireshark. Ten years ago, we saw the coming change in computing architectures, and how a similar approach was essential for observing what was happening in hosts and containers.

Falco is based on a unique technical vision, informed by deep experience, and now underpins everything we do. Our products have Falco at their core, delivering detection and runtime insights that power a suite of security solutions.

Having a technology as complex as Falco packaged together with professional support and a SaaS infrastructure allows us to focus on the integration instead of spending time on setup and maintenance.”
