If your team manages Linux infrastructure, you know the security challenges are unique. Teams are massively understaffed, and traditional agent-based solutions often struggle with compatibility across complex environments.

Sandfly's CEO, Craig Rowland, recently joined the Google Cloud Security Podcast (EP239) to discuss how an agentless approach can solve these widespread security problems.

This episode is packed with insights for anyone looking to improve their Linux security posture.

Key discussion topics:

  • The Agentless EDR debate and Sandfly's unique approach
  • The Linux threat landscape, including "living off the land" attacks
  • BPFDoor and other advanced stealth threats
  • The key trade-offs between agentless vs. agent-based solutions
  • How Sandfly uses AI to accelerate difficult security tasks

Craig also shares his recommended reading and tips for anyone wanting to level up their Linux security skills.
