Infrastructure
Hilt for Infrastructure captures file, process, and network activity at the kernel across Kubernetes, Linux workloads, containers, VMs, and bare metal. It helps security teams understand how data moves through modern environments and detect abnormal transfer behavior before it becomes an exfiltration event.
Hilt for Linux captures runtime data movement across Linux workloads in cloud and containerized environments. The goal is not just "cloud visibility." The goal is to understand which workload touched what data, where it moved next, and whether that movement matches the normal behavior of the service, namespace, or team.
Teams usually arrive here after realizing that API-level visibility is not enough for modern workloads. Custom services, internal job runners, GPU clusters, staging pods, and non-standard transfer paths are exactly where user-space coverage starts to thin out.
| Capability | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| File and process telemetry at the kernel | Shows the actual workload behavior instead of only app-reported events |
| Container and Kubernetes context | Preserves namespace, pod, and service relationships for triage |
| Cross-service data movement | Connects reads, writes, staging, and egress across microservices |
| Low-overhead collection | Keeps the telemetry practical for production and latency-sensitive environments |
Cloud buyers typically compare Hilt against Cyberhaven's user-space DDR model, the broader DLP and runtime category tradeoffs, and the data exfiltration prevention guide. That sequence makes it easier to separate architecture from vendor packaging.
Start with Linux if your highest-risk movement starts in Kubernetes, containerized apps, model infrastructure, ETL jobs, or production data services. If the exfiltration chain usually starts from a Mac, review macOS.
FAQ
Hilt focuses on runtime behavior and data movement rather than only content rules on known channels. It is designed to catch anomalous transfers even when a user or service technically had permission to access the data.
Hilt is best suited for security teams in regulated or performance-sensitive environments that need faster containment for insider risk, exfiltration, and runtime data movement.
Most buyers should start with a direct alternative page like Cyberhaven or DTEX, then move into the category comparison hub and the product feed pages that match the highest-risk layer in their environment.
