New Era

Why Jibril Stands Out

IT environments generate vast amounts of logs, with security teams relying on real-time kernel event streaming tools that often falter during high traffic, causing system slowdowns and data loss.

Jibril's query-driven eBPF approach, unlike traditional event-streaming models, collects kernel behavioral data with minimal overhead, eliminating performance bottlenecks while maintaining monitoring integrity.

Core Innovations

Event-Less, Query-Driven Monitoring

• Jibril's Innovation

  Jibril stores events in in-kernel eBPF maps and retrieves them on-demand, eliminating ring-buffer overload and data loss while maintaining performance under system stress.

• Traditional Tools

  Traditional solutions depend on event flooding via ring buffers to transfer kernel events to user space, creating bottlenecks under load.

Jibril Runtime Security

Current eBPF Runtime Tools

Minimal Overhead, Maximum Visibility

• Ensured Data Integrity Maps feature cryptographic hashing to prevent unauthorized key generation or modification. Any tampering renders the system "tainted," ensuring detectability and preserving forensic integrity.

• Kernel-Resident Data Management Jibril employs interconnected hashed key-value maps with strategic caching to prevent query exhaustion, minimizing context switching and reducing overhead—unlike traditional streaming tools that degrade under load.

High-Frequency Event Efficiency

• Resiliency: Jibril's in-kernel storage delivers reliable monitoring without CPU strain. While standard eBPF tools may drop events at enterprise loads - sometimes exceeding 50,000 events per second - Jibril maintains consistent performance without data loss.

Cadence and CPU Consumption

Minimal CPU Overhead, No Misses

Jibril Security Model

Behavioral Data Integrity

• Detection Recipe Confidentiality The logic behind Jibril's monitoring is kept secret, preventing attackers from understanding detection patterns and reducing their chances of evasion.

• Rate-Limiting Jibril can impose limits on repetitive events globally, per binary, or per process, ensuring your system isn't overwhelmed.

Kernel/Userland Separation

• Secure Memory Access All eBPF programs undergo validation by the Linux kernel verifier, preventing unauthorized memory access.

• Low-Latency Interactions On-demand queries replace constant event "firehoses" between kernel and user space, minimizing overhead.

Access Control and Monitoring

• Privilege Protection Only root users with CAP_BPF or CAP_SYS_ADMIN permissions can load or inspect Jibril's kernel programs, with unauthorized attempts automatically flagged as tampering.

• Userland Privilege Management Jibril follows least-privilege principles, dropping unnecessary capabilities after eBPF initialization to prevent privilege exploitation.

System Resilience

• Tamper Detection Any unverified writes to eBPF maps or rogue eBPF loads are caught and flagged.

• Plugin Isolation Each detection plugin operates in a dedicated thread, preventing individual failures from compromising the entire monitoring system.

Compliance Alignment

• GDPR-Focused Jibril tracks only metadata (filenames, PIDs, timestamps)—not content—minimizing personal data processing risks. Future updates will implement anonymization for enhanced compliance requirements.

• ISO 27001 Ready Robust logging, granular access controls, and tamper alerting facilitate compliance with ISO 27001 security framework requirements.

From Kernel to Userland

Data Collection (Kernel Space)

• Uniform Binary Object Jibril's eBPF code executes consistently across diverse kernel versions without requiring custom modules.

• Key-Value Map Storage Process behaviors and events are hashed into eBPF maps, enabling minimal CPU consumption and rapid lookups.

Userland Daemon

• Detection & Pattern Matching The daemon selectively retrieves kernel data and analyzes it against detection recipes to identify anomalies and suspicious activities.

• Modular Detection Jibril's detection logic comes in built-in plugins organized by type (file, network, etc.), each running in an isolated thread to prevent system-wide failures from individual plugin issues.

Printers & Dashboards

• Flexible Output: Detection events can be routed to multiple destinations including stdout, logs, external dashboards.

• Secure Submissions: All data transmission occurs over authenticated channels (HTTPS with API tokens) to maintain confidentiality and integrity.

Extensibility

Plugins & Extensions

• Security-by-Design Plugins are pre-compiled with well-defined detection recipes, with future versions planned to support runtime extensions via a descriptive language without compromising system stability.

• Thread-Based Isolation Self-contained plugins operate independently, ensuring that issues in one monitoring area (like network detection) cannot impact others (such as file monitoring).

Printers

• Built-In Dispatch Jibril includes various "printers" that forward detection events to logs, dashboards, or external APIs, all easily configured through simple toggles.

• Optional AI Integrations For advanced threat analytics, Jibril can transmit summarized data to OpenAI services, leveraging machine learning for intuitive pattern interpretation while protecting raw data.

Roadmap

• Enhanced Data Protection Future updates will implement data anonymization for sensitive information and optional encryption for kernel-collected data.

• Comprehensive Compliance Planned enhancements include expanded GDPR and ISO 27001 audit support through detailed access logs, improved documentation, and configurable redaction capabilities.

Conclusion

Jibril redefines runtime security with its revolutionary approach to kernel event management—collecting, storing, and analyzing system activity with unprecedented efficiency, minimal latency, and tamper-resistant architecture.

Unlike traditional solutions that falter under high event volumes, Jibril's performance actually scales with demand, ensuring:

• Unwavering reliability when you need it most

• Complete visibility across your entire system

• Ironclad security with tamper-evident design

Purpose-built for modern enterprise environments, Jibril combines kernel-level monitoring depth with negligible performance impact and compliance-ready features—delivering the comprehensive protection today's security-conscious organizations demand.
