Cycode’s new Cimon monitoring tool for continuous integration and continuous delivery is designed to offer a new level of visibility into the CI/CD process, securing code against data exfiltration and other malicious activity.
According to the company’s announcement, Cimon — short for CI Monitor — is a runtime security agent that uses the enhanced Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) system to look directly into the CI pipeline, develop a baseline understanding of what normal behavior looks like, and monitor for abnormalities.
The use of eBPF, according to Cycode head of security research Alex Ilgayev, provides for flexibility and visibility into the operating system.
