AI-generated remediations for Falco audit events
falco-gpt
falco-gpt is an OpenAI powered tool to generate remediation actions for Falco audit events. It is a simple HTTP server that listens for Falco audit events and pushes them to an internal NATS server acting like a queue. The queue is then processed by a goroutine that sends the audit events to OpenAI API by applying rate limiting and retries. The generated remediation actions are then sent to Slack via a BOT in a thread.
