The first key component was a signature-based web application firewall along with ML/AI-based anomaly detection systems to weed out malicious requests.Īll of Frame.io’s workloads run inside Docker containers on a peak day, there are 300,000 containers running, either processing web requests or doing video transcoding jobs, with life spans ranging from seconds to hours. When Abhinav Srivastava joined the company in 2017 as VP and Head of Information Security and Infrastructure, he set out to create a rock-solid security program around the Frame.io video cloud, which is hosted on AWS. Given the confidentiality concerns faced by customers, the company, which launched in 2014, promises security and reliability-both of which it’s able to provide thanks to cloud native technology. $150,000 a year From Netflix to Fox Sports and Vice, some of the most prominent creators of video and film content use the Frame.io platform for cloud-based review and collaboration across multiple teams. “We are spending that money for our entire security operations.” “We are spending more or less the same amount, but we aren’t paying for one tool,” he says. A vendor product for the kind of environment Frame.io runs could easily cost $150,000 a year, Srivastava points out. Falco has also helped Frame.io with SOC2 Type 2 and TPN compliance.

“We basically built a complete end-to-end system on top of Falco using Falco’s raw data.” Impactīecause the team now has full transparency in its system, Srivastava says, incident response and time to resolution have improved.

Given Frame.io’s particular requirements, the team “went through the fine-tuning process,” says Srivastava. Solutionįalco, an open source project for container native runtime security, was a good fit for Frame.io.

“We want to have a complete visibility inside our containers, and we want them to be secure.” To build a rock-solid security program for Frame.io’s video cloud, the team needed container security tools. “Containers are in the line of fire,” says Abhinav Srivastava, VP and Head of Information Security and Infrastructure at Frame.io.
