Falco Playbook: Deploy, Write Rules, Tune with Exceptions and Route Alerts

A hands-on Falco deep dive: deploy it on a local Kubernetes cluster, trigger and read your first alerts, write rules for your own workloads, tune noise with exceptions and overrides, route alerts with Falcosidekick, and run a 90-day rollout.

Premium playbookFacts checked Free overview: Falco and Sysdig Secure explained
WHAT YOU WILL DO
  • Deploy Falco and Falcosidekick on a disposable local Kubernetes cluster
  • Trigger a default rule safely and read every field in the alert
  • Write a custom rule that catches unexpected writes below a web root
  • Silence a noisy rule with a specific exception instead of disabling it
  • Count alerts per rule to find your tuning queue
  • Debug driver crash loops, silent rules and missing Kubernetes fields
  • Run a 90-day rollout from observe-only to routed, tested detections
