Security Projections
Intro
Security projections keep the source of truth in processkit Artifacts
while emitting runtime policy files for enforcement systems. Agent-IDS
rules project to canonical JSON. Tetragon tracing policies project to
YAML shaped like Cilium Tetragon TracingPolicy resources.
Overview
Projection tools read security policy Artifacts and write runtime policy files with deterministic content and checksums. The emitted files are deployment artifacts; processkit Artifacts remain the reviewed policy source.
Gotchas
- Do not hand-edit projected policy files as the source of truth. Update the source Artifact and project again.
- Do not project broad enforcement policies without a related decision or gate evidence explaining the rollout scope.
- Treat missing projection checksums as stale output and regenerate before release.
