About:
falcoctl is a command-line interface tool designed to manage and interact with Falco, the cloud-native runtime security project. It simplifies the installation, configuration, and management of Falco rules and plugins, serving as the primary utility for maintaining a Falco deployment.
Key Features:
  • Install and manage Falco distributions (k8s, helm, deb, rpm)
  • Manage Falco rules files and plugins
  • Interact with Falco security content repositories
  • Provide a unified CLI experience for Falco ecosystem
Use Cases:
  • Automating Falco installation and updates in CI/CD pipelines
  • Managing and distributing custom detection rules across infrastructure
  • Auditing and validating Falco configurations
Alternatives:
  • kubectl – Can deploy Falco via manifests/helm but lacks Falco-specific logic for rules and plugin management.
  • Helm – Package manager for Kubernetes; used to install Falco but does not manage runtime rules or content updates.
