Patching takes time, and vulnerable systems may remain exposed while fixes are tested and deployed. Runtime security monitors system activity to identify behavior that could indicate an attack.
Signals such as exploitation attempts, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and data exfiltration can help defenders identify suspicious activity. eBPF-based sensors can collect valuable runtime telemetry, but detection depends on what the sensor observes and how the security tooling analyzes that information.
Runtime security adds a layer of visibility and response during the patching window; it does not eliminate the underlying vulnerability or guarantee that every attack will be detected.
When immediate patching isn't possible, how should security teams balance runtime detection, mitigation, and remediation?
