For more than a decade, Red Hat has helped organizations accelerate cloud-native transformation with Kubernetes and OpenShift. But as modern applications become increasingly distributed, API-driven, and AI-enabled, security requirements are evolving just as quickly.
Today’s OpenShift environments are no longer made up of a handful of static applications. They include dynamic microservices, internal APIs, east-west traffic, AI workloads, and workloads spread across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure. Traditional security approaches were never designed for this level of complexity.
That shift is exactly where Prophaze is focused.
As organizations continue adopting Red Hat OpenShift to modernize application delivery, Prophaze is helping security and platform teams bring Kubernetes-native application protection directly into these environments, without introducing operational friction.
Securing the modern OpenShift application stack
Modern Kubernetes environments require more than perimeter protection. Security teams need visibility into APIs, ingress traffic, internal services, and runtime behavior, all while supporting the speed and agility that OpenShift enables.
Prophaze delivers Kubernetes Web Application and API Protection (KWAAP) purpose-built for Red Hat OpenShift environments, combining:
- AI-driven adaptive security
- API protection
- Bot mitigation
- DDoS defense
- Runtime threat detection
- Centralized visibility across clusters
Rather than relying solely on static signatures or manual policy tuning, Prophaze continuously analyzes application behavior to identify anomalies and dynamically adapt protections in real time.
This becomes especially important in Kubernetes environments where applications, APIs, and traffic patterns constantly evolve.
AI-driven protection designed for Kubernetes
Security teams are increasingly challenged by attacks targeting APIs, internal applications, and east-west traffic inside Kubernetes environments.
From OWASP Top 10 exploits to credential stuffing, malicious bots, and zero-day threats, organizations need protection capable of responding at runtime without slowing developers down.
Prophaze introduces adaptive behavioral profiling that continuously learns how applications behave and automatically adjusts security enforcement accordingly.
This enables organizations to:
- Detect anomalous API behavior
- Reduce false positives
- Mitigate malicious bots and automated abuse
- Block DDoS attacks targeting applications and APIs
- Protect against fileless malware and lateral movement
- Secure both external and internal applications
The result is a more intelligent and operationally efficient approach to cloud-native application security.
Consistent security across every OpenShift deployment
One of the biggest challenges organizations face today is maintaining consistent security policies across multiple Kubernetes environments.
Applications now run across:
- Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
- Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO)
- Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA)
- OpenShift Dedicated (OSD)
- Edge and virtualization environments
Each environment introduces operational complexity, fragmented visibility, and inconsistent policy enforcement.
Prophaze addresses this through a centralized Kubernetes-native architecture that delivers unified visibility, threat analytics, and policy management across distributed OpenShift clusters.
For platform teams, this means security becomes easier to operationalize at scale.

Built for DevSecOps and cloud-native operations
Security solutions designed for legacy infrastructure often create friction in Kubernetes environments. They require manual management, separate operational models, and workflows that slow deployment velocity.
Prophaze was designed differently.
The platform integrates directly into OpenShift environments using Kubernetes-native deployment models that align with modern DevSecOps practices.
Organizations can integrate security into:
- CI/CD pipelines
- Kubernetes observability stacks
- SIEM and SOAR platforms
- API-driven automation workflows
- Multi-cluster OpenShift operations
This allows security to become part of the platform itself, not an external control layer added afterward.
Security that evolves with modern applications
As Kubernetes adoption accelerates, organizations are rethinking how application security should work in cloud-native environments.
The future is moving toward adaptive, embedded security models that operate alongside the platforms developers already use every day.
That’s the direction Prophaze and Red Hat are enabling together.
By combining Red Hat OpenShift with Prophaze’s AI-driven KWAAP platform, organizations can modernize securely while gaining stronger visibility, runtime protection, and operational simplicity across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure.
