Falco is being used by numerous other companies, both large and small, to build higher layer products and services. The list includes but is not limited to:
* Equinix Metal
* IEEE
* Lowes
* Reckrut
* Yellow Pepper
* CTx
* Utikal
* Discrete Events
* Agritech Infra

This is a list of production adopters of Falco (in alphabetical order):

* [ASAPP](https://www.asapp.com/) - ASAPP is a pushing the boundaries of fundamental artificial intelligence research. We apply our research into AI-Native® products that make organizations, in the customer experience industry, highly productive, efficient, and effective—by augmenting human activity and automating workflows. We constantly monitor our workloads against different hazards and FALCO helps us extend our threat monitoring boundaries.

* [Booz Allen Hamilton](https://www.boozallen.com/) - BAH leverages Falco as part of their Kubernetes environment to verify that work loads behave as they did in their CD DevSecOps pipelines. BAH offers a solution to internal developers to easily build DevSecOps pipelines for projects. This makes it easy for developers to incorporate Security principles early on in the development cycle. In production, Falco is used to verify that the code the developer ships does not violate any of the production security requirements. BAH [are speaking at Kubecon NA 2019](https://kccncna19.sched.com/event/UaWr/building-reusable-devsecops-pipelines-on-a-secure-kubernetes-platform-steven-terrana-booz-allen-hamilton-michael-ducy-sysdig) on their use of Falco.

* [Coveo](https://www.coveo.com/) - Coveo stitches together content and data, learning from every interaction, to tailor every experience using AI to drive growth, satisfy customers and develop employee proficiency. All Falco events are centralized in our SIEM for analysis. Understanding what is running on production servers, and the context around why things are running is even more tricky now that we have further abstractions with containers and orchestration systems. Falco is giving us a good visibility inside containers and complement other Host and Network Intrusion Detection Systems. In a near future, we expect to deploy serverless functions to take action when Falco identifies patterns worth taking action for.

* [Deckhouse](https://deckhouse.io/) - Deckhouse Platform presents to you the opportunity to create homogeneous Kubernetes clusters anywhere and handles comprehensive, automagical management for them. It supplies all the add-ons you need for auto-scaling, observability, security, and service mesh. Falco is used as a part of the [runtime-audit-engine](https://deckhouse.io/documentation/latest/modules/650-runtime-audit-engine/) module to provide threats detection and enforce security compliance out of the box. By pairing with [shell-operator](https://github.com/flant/shell-operator) Falco can be configured by Kubernetes Custom Resources.

* [Fairwinds](https://fairwinds.com/) - [Fairwinds Insights](https://fairwinds.com/insights), Kubernetes governance software, integrates Falco to offer a single pane of glass view into potential security incidents. Insights adds out-of-the-box integrations and rules filter to reduce alert fatigue and improve security response. The platform adds security prevention, detection, and response capabilities to your existing Kubernetes infrastructure. Security and DevOps teams benefit from a centralized view of container security vulnerability scanning and runtime container security.

* [Frame.io](https://frame.io/) - Frame.io is a cloud-based (SaaS) video review and collaboration platform that enables users to securely upload source media, work-in-progress edits, dailies, and more into private workspaces where they can invite their team and clients to collaborate on projects. Understanding what is running on production servers, and the context around why things are running is even more tricky now that we have further abstractions like Docker and Kubernetes. To get this needed visibility into our system, we rely on Falco. Falco's ability to collect raw system calls such as open, connect, exec, along with their arguments offer key insights on what is happening on the production system and became the foundation of our intrusion detection and alerting system.

* [Giant Swarm](https://www.giantswarm.io/) - Giant Swarm manages Kubernetes clusters and infrastructure for enterprises across multiple cloud providers as well as several flavors of on-premises data centers. Our platform provisions and monitors pure "vanilla" Kubernetes clusters which can be augmented with managed solutions to many common Kubernetes challenges, including security. We use Falco for anomaly detection as part of our collection of entirely open-source tools for securing our own clusters, and offer the same capabilities to our customers as part of our [managed security offering](https://docs.giantswarm.io/app-platform/apps/security/).

* [GitLab](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/defend/container_host_security/) - GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, fundamentally changing the way Development, Security, and Ops teams collaborate. GitLab Ultimate provides the single tool teams need to find, triage, and fix vulnerabilities in applications, services, and cloud-native environments enabling them to manage their risk. This provides them with repeatable, defensible processes that automate security and compliance policies. GitLab includes a tight integration with Falco, allowing users to defend their containerized applications from attacks while running in production.

* [gVisor](https://gvisor.dev/) - gVisor secures Kubernetes, containers, and workloads via an alternate execution environment that handles system calls in user space, blocking security issues before they reach the underlying host. gVisor provides defense-in-depth, protection against untrusted code execution, and a secure-by-default Kubernetes experience where containers are a security boundary. Falco can be used with gVisor to detect unusual or suspicious activity using its threat detection engine on top of gVisor runtime execution information.

* [League](https://league.com/ca/) - League provides health benefits management services to help employees understand and get the most from their benefits, and employers to provide effective, efficient plans. Falco is used to monitor our deployed services on Kubernetes, protecting against malicious access to containers which could lead to leaks of PHI or other sensitive data. The Falco alerts are logged in Stackdriver for grouping and further analysis. In the future, we're hoping for integrations with Prometheus and AlertManager as well.

* [Logz.io](https://logz.io/) - Logz.io is a cloud observability platform for modern engineering teams. The Logz.io platform consists of three products — Log Management, Infrastructu
