An example method for a software container includes instantiating the following in a sandbox of a computing device: an operating system, a Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) virtual machine within a kernel of the operating system, and a software container. The kernel monitors runtime behavior events of the software container, with the monitoring at least partially performed by the BPF virtual machine. Based on the monitoring, a respective risk score is assigned to each of the runtime behavior events that is potentially malicious, with each risk score indicating a likelihood that a corresponding behavior event is malicious. An overall risk score is assigned to the software container that indicates a likelihood that the software container is malicious based on the respective risk scores.
