An Introduction to eBPF for Network Security Engineers

In today's ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, staying ahead of threats requires cutting-edge tools and techniques. Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) is transforming the way network security engineers monitor and protect systems in real time. This session will introduce the powerful capabilities of eBPF for network security, offering live examples tailored for security professionals. Participants will learn how to leverage eBPF to monitor network traffic to detect suspicious patterns and potential attacks, trace system calls to identify unauthorized access attempts, and block malicious connections based on predefined security policies. You will leave this session with ideas to help you improve your security monitoring, detect anomalies, and respond to threats more effectively. It is recommended to have basic knowledge of network protocols and internal Linux systems. The session includes live demonstrations of eBPF in action, showcasing practical use cases and real-time analysis techniques. You'll also learn how eBPF is leveraged by Cisco Hypershield, an innovative security architecture designed to defend modern data centers at AI scale. Join us to explore how eBPF can be a game-changer in your security toolset and empower you to protect your network with advanced real-time monitoring capabilities.
