Sentrilite leverages eBPF/XDP/DPDK/SysMon and AI-driven insights to deliver cloud-native, real-time visibility and defense for modern infrastructure. It helps to reduce Alert Fatigue with Custom Actionable Alerts and Risk Scoring across Cloud and Linux workloads with ease. About me: With over 16 years of diverse experience across Software Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, FinTech, AdTech, High-Frequency Trading (HFT), Cybersecurity, and Data Center Automation, I specialize in building real-time, high-throughput, and scalable distributed systems. My background spans designing low-latency trading frameworks, adtech infrastructures processing billions of events daily, and cloud-native security and observability platforms. As an upstream open-source contributor, I have contributed code and fixes to some of the world’s most widely used projects, including Kubernetes, the Linux Kernel, TensorFlow, Containerd, and Istio. My vision is to make enterprise-grade observability and security lightweight, efficient, and accessible at scale.

Sentrilite is a Detection-as-Code & Automated Response platform for real-time observability and runtime security across hybrid-cloud and on-prem environments. Its built on the most cutting edge technology using linux kernel modules, LSM, eBPF, SysMon to get the deep system level traces. It monitors processes, files, and network activity directly at the kernel level, enriches events with container and pod metadata, applies rule-based risk scoring, and automatically responds to active threats. Live telemetry and alerts are streamed to a unified web dashboard, with optional LLM insights for concise, actionable summaries. Sentrilite works across AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem, and hybrid infrastructures. Key Features - One-click, audit-ready reports: Instantly generate CISO- and compliance-ready reports with no manual data stitching - Unified real-time dashboard: Monitor and secure Linux and Windows systems across cloud and on-prem from a single view - Detection-as-Code with Active Response: Define or update security rules using simple JSON, with hot reload and policy-driven process termination—no redeploys, no downtime - 300+ pre-built security rules: Out-of-the-box detections for suspicious process behavior, network activity, and sensitive file access - Centralized alert storage: Persist alerts in a single database for long-term visibility, analytics, and cost-efficient retention - LLM-powered insights (optional): Summarize incidents, surface risk trends, and suggest remediation actions automatically Website: https://sentrilite.com github: https://github.com/sentrilite Contact: info@sentrilite.com
