Secure container runtime sandbox for cloud-native workloads

About gVisor

gVisor provides a Linux-compatible sandbox that enhances container security by isolating workloads from the host system. It intercepts system calls to protect hosts from container escapes and privilege escalations, enabling secure execution of untrusted or third-party code. Designed for cloud infrastructure environments, gVisor is suitable for enterprises running Kubernetes, SaaS, or serverless platforms that require strong isolation and defense-in-depth for multi-tenant and security-critical applications.

The platform offers runtime visibility and integrates with threat detection tools to help enterprises quickly identify and respond to security threats. It supports fast container startups with minimal resource overhead and includes features like checkpoint and restore for workload management. gVisor runs on various hardware architectures and cloud providers without requiring virtualization support, making it a flexible solution for securing containerized applications in production environments.
