eBPF-Based Cybersecurity Mechanisms: A Systematic Literature Review
A systematic review consolidates the fragmented eBPF security landscape, mapping kernel-level enforcement capabilities that enterprises running cloud-native workloads should evaluate as lightweight alternatives to traditional endpoint agents.

arXiv:2608.27511v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) has emerged as a kernel-level framework enabling dynamic security enforcement in modern operating systems. While eBPF's cybersecurity potential has attracted significant attention, existing work remains fragmented across domains, evaluation methodologies, and deployment contexts. This systematic literature review applies PRISMA methodology to identify, categorize, and synthesize peer-reviewed research on eBPF
Editorial Analysis
eBPF is reshaping runtime security in cloud-native environments; understanding its capabilities helps enterprises reduce agent overhead while maintaining kernel-level visibility.
Assess eBPF-based security tooling for container and Kubernetes runtime protection.
