@@ -43,8 +43,6 @@ This is a list of production adopters of Falco (in alphabetical order):
 
 * [MathWorks](https://mathworks.com) - MathWorks develops mathematical computing software for engineers and scientists. MathWorks uses Falco for Kubernetes threat detection, unexpected application behavior, and maps Falco rules to their cloud infrastructure's security kill chain model. MathWorks presented their Falco use case at [KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2020](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-5RYBTV010).
 
-* [NETWAYS Web Services](https://nws.netways.de/en/) - NETWAYS Web Services provides cloud and managed services tailored to their customers needs. From VPCs to managed databases and Kubernetes clusters, NETWAYS Web Services enables their customers to run infrastructure and applications without worries. Falco plays its part for NETWAYS Managed Services to ensure their platform conforms to ISO 27001 at all times and that their clients' workloads behave as expected by detecting anomalies in real-time.
-
 * [Pocteo](https://pocteo.co) - Pocteo helps with Kubernetes adoption in enterprises by providing a variety of services such as training, consulting, auditing and mentoring. We build CI/CD pipelines the GitOps way, as well as design and run k8s clusters. Pocteo uses Falco as a runtime monitoring system to secure clients' workloads against suspicious behavior and ensure k8s pods immutability. We also use Falco to collect, process and act on security events through a response engine and serverless functions.
 
 * [Preferral](https://www.preferral.com) - Preferral is a HIPAA-compliant platform for Referral Management and Online Referral Forms. Preferral streamlines the referral process for patients, specialists and their referral partners. By automating the referral process, referring practices spend less time on the phone, manual efforts are eliminated, and patients get the right care from the right specialist. Preferral leverages Falco to provide a Host Intrusion Detection System to meet their HIPAA compliance requirements.

-## The Falco Project
+## Falco Repo: Powering the Core of The Falco Project
 
-The Falco Project codebase is maintained under the [falcosecurity GitHub organization](https://github.com/falcosecurity). The primary repository, [falcosecurity/falco](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falco), holds the source code for the Falco binary, while other sub-projects are hosted in dedicated repositories. This approach of isolating components into specialized repositories enhances modularity and focused development. Notable [core repositories](https://github.com/falcosecurity/evolution?tab=readme-ov-file#core) include:
+This is the main Falco repository which contains the source code for building the Falco binary. By utilizing its [libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs) and the [falco.yaml](falco.yaml) configuration file, this repository forms the foundation of Falco's functionality. The Falco repository is closely interconnected with the following *core* repositories:
 
-- [falcosecurity/libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs): This repository hosts Falco's core libraries, which constitute the majority of the binary’s source code and provide essential features, such as kernel drivers.
-- [falcosecurity/rules](https://github.com/falcosecurity/rules): It contains the official ruleset for Falco, offering pre-defined detection rules for various security threats and abnormal behaviors.
-- [falcosecurity/plugins](https://github.com/falcosecurity/plugins): This repository supports integration with external services through plugins that extend Falco's capabilities beyond syscalls and container events, with plans for evolving specialized functionalities in future releases.
-- [falcosecurity/falcoctl](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falcoctl): A command-line utility designed for managing and interacting with Falco.
-- [falcosecurity/charts](https://github.com/falcosecurity/charts): This repository provides Helm charts for deploying Falco and its ecosystem, simplifying the installation and management process.
+- [falcosecurity/libs](https://github.com/falcosecurity/libs): Falco's libraries are key to its fundamental operations, making up the greater portion of the source code of the Falco binary and providing essential features such as kernel drivers.
+- [falcosecurity/rules](https://github.com/falcosecurity/rules): Contains the official ruleset for Falco, providing pre-defined detection rules for various security threats and abnormal behaviors.
+- [falcosecurity/plugins](https://github.com/falcosecurity/plugins/): Falco plugins facilitate integration with external services, expand Falco's capabilities beyond syscalls and container events, and are designed to evolve with specialized functionality in future releases.
+- [falcosecurity/falcoctl](https://github.com/falcosecurity/falcoctl): Command-line utility for managing and interacting with Falco.

 ## Getting Started with Falco
 
-If you're new to Falco, begin your journey with our [Getting Started](https://falco.org/docs/getting-started/) guide. For production deployments, please refer to our comprehensive [Setup](https://falco.org/docs/setup/) documentation.
+Carefully review and follow the [Official Documentation](https://falco.org/docs/install-operate/).
 
-As final recommendations before deploying Falco, verify environment compatibility, define your detection goals, optimize performance, choose the appropriate build, and plan for SIEM or data lake integration to ensure effective incident response.
+Considerations and guidance for Falco adopters:
+
+1. Understand dependencies: Assess the environment where you'll run Falco and consider kernel versions and architectures.
+
+2. Define threat detection objectives: Clearly identify the threats you want to detect and evaluate Falco's strengths and limitations.
+
+3. Consider performance and cost: Assess compute performance overhead and align with system administrators or SREs. Budget accordingly.
+
+4. Choose build and customization approach: Decide between the open source Falco build or creating a custom build pipeline. Customize the build and deployment process as necessary, including incorporating unique tests or approaches, to ensure a resilient deployment with fast deployment cycles.
+
+5. Integrate with output destinations: Integrate Falco with SIEM, data lake systems, or other preferred output destinations to establish a robust foundation for comprehensive data analysis and enable effective incident response workflows.
 
 ### Demo Environment
 
 A demo environment is provided via a docker-compose file that can be started on a docker host which includes falco, falcosidekick, falcosidekick-ui and its required redis database. For more information see the [docker-compose section](docker/docker-compose/)

 **Example 1** Let's consider a feature _foo_ in the Output/Alerts Area introduced in Falco 1.0.0 and labeled as *Incubating*. The feature is promoted to *Stable* in Falco 1.1.0 (because the feature did not get any user-facing change).
-Subsequently, maintainers decide that backward-incompatible changes must be introduced in _foo_ to improve its functionality. The part of the feature to be changed is labeled as *Deprecated* in Falco 1.2.0, and the deprecation period starts. The non-backward compatible change is then introduced in Falco 1.4.0.

 **Example 2** The `--bar` flag in the CLI/Config Area has been introduced since Falco 1.1.0 and is labeled as *Stable*. Before releasing Falco 1.5.0, maintainers realize `--bar` is redundant and should be removed. The flag is labeled as *Deprecated* in Falco 1.5.0, and the deprecation period starts. The flag is removed in Falco 1.6.0.
