Abstract: A protection system is provided for delivering runtime security to a task including a workload container. The protection system uses a sidecar to limit access of the workload container to a standard library of the operating system running the workload container by modifying the task so that the sidecar is executed before the workload container. The sidecar places a guard loader into a shared volume and binds the workload container, such that calls to the workload container are passed to an agent binary. The agent binary compares requested calls from the workload container to a policy to approve and/or deny the requested calls. If the requested call is approved, then the requested call is passed to the standard library.

Abstract: A system may identify one or more attributes associated with traffic. The system may then determine that at least one attribute, of the one or more attributes, matches an attribute of a set of attributes that correspond to a set of categories of traffic. Based on determining that the at least one attribute matches the attribute of the set of attributes, the system may identify a category, of the set of categories, that corresponds to the attribute. The system may associate the category with the traffic, and process the traffic based on the associated category.
