A quick look at vendors in the endpoint security space reveals that most struggle with effective telemetry and detection capabilities on Linux-based systems.  

Enter Capsule8 with its Protect product that offers out-of-the-box analytics for endpoint detection response and delivers real-time attack protection for Linux production systems. A relatively new company to the marketspace with a first year of sales wrapping up at the conclusion of 2019, Capsule 8 spent nearly three years developing the Protect solution platform. During this time, the company focused on creating a high-performance attack protection system for Linux-based production environments by combining response, detection and investigation capabilities with seamless operation on Linux platforms.
