Overview
This AWS Marketplace solution delivers production-ready runtime security monitoring for EKS clusters by combining Falco OSS with native AWS Security Hub CSPM integration. Falco captures suspicious container, host, or cloud behavior-unauthorized access, credential theft, privilege escalation-in real-time as workloads execute.
The solution eliminates deployment complexity through automated CloudFormation templates for AWS services, Helm charts for cloud-native Falco deployment, and Lambda functions that normalize Falco findings into AWS Security Finding Format (ASFF).
Deploy in 10 minutes instead of weeks, with all alerts centralized in AWS Security Hub CSPM alongside your existing AWS security services.
This product requires an internet connection to deploy properly. The following package is downloaded on deployment:
- Helm chart from Falco OSS: https://falcosecurity.github.io/charts
Highlights
- - Real-time runtime threat detection - Open, extensible, and community-driven - Unified visibility of threats within AWS Security Hub CSPM

Single-cluster automation deployment
This CloudFormation template provides a fully automated deployment of Falco runtime security monitoring integrated with AWS Security Hub CSPM for a single EKS cluster. The solution eliminates manual configuration by deploying all required AWS infrastructure and Kubernetes components in a single stack. What Gets Deployed:
• AWS Infrastructure: IAM roles and policies for Lambda execution and EC2 deployment, CloudWatch log groups for Falco alerts, EKS access entries for cluster authentication, and security groups for secure connectivity • Deployment Automation: A temporary EC2 instance with pre-configured scripts that automatically deploys the Lambda function, creates CloudWatch subscription filters, configures Kubernetes secrets for AWS credentials, and installs Falco via Helm charts on your specified EKS cluster
• Falco Components: Falco DaemonSet deployed across all nodes in your EKS cluster using eBPF probes for kernel-level monitoring and FalcoSidekick for alert forwarding to CloudWatch Logs.
• Processing Pipeline: Lambda function that transforms Falco alerts from CloudWatch into AWS Security Finding Format (ASFF) and publishes to Security Hub CSPM, providing unified visibility alongside other AWS security services
The deployment completes in less than 10 minutes Simply provide your EKS cluster name, VPC ID, and subnet-the CloudFormation template handles the rest.
Once deployed, Falco immediately begins monitoring runtime activity in your cluster and forwarding security findings to your Security Hub dashboard.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
First version of the product providing only single-cluster deployment within this solution.
Additional details
Usage instructions
Deploy the CloudFormation template by providing the Parameters for your EKSCluster, VPCid and SubnetID.
The VPCId and SubnetID provided must have access to the EKS cluster and Internet access as it is required by the EC2 instance deployed.
Note: Once the solution is deployed you are safe to stop (or even delete) the EC2 instance deployed related to the deployed stack as it is no longer needed. If you delete it, remember that in case you want to remove the CloudFormation stack it will not find this resource later and could be stuck in the "deletion" process.
This product requires an internet connection to deploy properly because of the EC2 bootstrap instance. The following package is downloaded on deployment:
- Helm chart from Falco OSS: https://falcosecurity.github.io/charts
