- "I'd recommend Falco (runtime security) paired with Trivy (container image scanning) as a strong combination" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Container security)
- "Trivy + Kubescape + Falco (all free, open-source) is the best container security "platform."" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Container security)
- "Open source with strong backing: Falco (CNCF), Trivy (Aqua but widely adopted)" (Kimi K2, Container security)
- "For $0 total cost, Trivy + Falco is the undisputed open-source standard." (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Container security)

## And against it

- "Falco-like detection can identify suspicious behavior, but rules need tuning and alerts still require response automation" (Perplexity Sonar, Container security)
