eBPF has many uses in improving computer security, but just taking eBPF observability tools as-is and using them for security monitoring would be like driving your car into the ocean and expecting it to float. Observability tools are designed have the lowest overhead possible so that they are safe to run in production while analyzing an active performance issue.
