Kubernetes Traffic Hidden Inside,
Cluster‑Native WAF Brings It Into View

In Kubernetes, most risk lives in east west traffic, including service to service calls, sidecars, and mesh routes that never touch a traditional perimeter WAF. A Kubernetes native WAF enforces inspection and controls inside the cluster itself, so microservices, APIs, and mesh traffic are protected where communication actually happens.

Legacy edge WAFs miss intra‑cluster and east‑west threats moving between pods and services.

Little to no visibility into service‑to‑service and mesh traffic makes it hard to spot lateral movement.

Dynamic microservices, ingresses, and mesh patterns quickly outgrow static, perimeter‑centric rule sets.

Manual rule tuning for constantly changing namespaces, routes, and versions slows teams and introduces errors.

Cluster Changing Constantly,
Kubernetes WAF Stabilizes App Defense

A Kubernetes‑native WAF brings intelligent, inline protection directly into your clusters, so DevOps teams secure microservices and APIs without rewriting code or re‑architecting workloads. It keeps inspection and policy enforcement close to pods and ingress while still benefiting from AI‑driven insights and GitOps‑friendly automation.

Helm‑based deployment that drops into existing manifests with no application code changes.​

Works consistently across EKS, AKS, GKE, OpenShift, Fargate, and bare‑metal Kubernetes.​

Scales with clusters and namespaces to protect multi‑cluster and hybrid Kubernetes estates.​

DevSecOps‑ready with GitOps integration and CI/CD‑friendly configuration for automated rollout.​

Lightweight, inline microservices architecture engineered for low latency and minimal overhead.​

Kubernetes WAF Technical Overview

How Prophaze Kubernetes WAF Works

Inline, Real-Time Protection for Kubernetes

Every request is analyzed inline using behavioral analytics and deep inspection, allowing Prophaze to stop attacks without disrupting workloads or service performance.

Traffic Interception

Secures ingress and service to service traffic inside the cluster, with no sidecars required.

Web Threat Detection

AI identifies and blocks L7 DDoS, bot attacks, scraping, credential stuffing, and malicious internal traffic.

Continuous Learning

Behavioral models evolve with traffic patterns and emerging attack techniques.

Prophaze
Kubernetes WAF

Deep Inspection

Monitors and sanitizes payloads to prevent XSS, SQLi, RCE, file traversal, and DNS poisoning.

Adaptive Enforcement

Applies automated rules, blocking or rate-limiting malicious requests in real time.

Flexible Deployment Models for Any Cluster

Prophaze Kubernetes WAF is designed to integrate natively into Kubernetes, without disrupting applications or pipelines.

East-West Blind Spots Growing,
In-Cluster WAF Tightened in Three Moves

Deploy and baseline in your cluster

  • Install the Kubernetes‑native WAF and observe ingress plus service traffic across namespaces and workloads.​
  • Use cluster‑local logs and dashboards to map normal pod‑to‑pod and north‑south flows before tightening controls.​

Detect and prioritize risky services

  • Surface exposed services, abused APIs, and anomalous east‑west patterns that indicate lateral movement or active attacks.​
  • Rank noisy endpoints and sensitive workloads so teams focus tuning and fixes where they reduce risk fastest.​

Enforce Kubernetes policies in real time

  • Apply adaptive WAF rules, rate limits, and access controls at ingress and inside the cluster to block attacks without breaking traffic.​
  • Feed events into SIEM and DevSecOps workflows so responses stay fast, traceable, and aligned with cluster security best practices.​

Security That Fits Your Kubernetes Workflows

Security and platform teams need to secure clusters at the speed of deployments, without breaking GitOps, CI/CD, or live workloads. Prophaze Kubernetes WAF drops into existing Kubernetes workflows so DevSecOps can ship continuously while protection follows every change across pods, services, and ingress.

Helm‑based install that fits straight into existing manifests and cluster automation.

Inline protection for pods, services, and ingress paths so traffic is secured where it actually runs.

Works cleanly with ArgoCD, Flux, Jenkins, and other Kubernetes‑centric CI/CD pipelines.​

Live rule and config updates with no downtime or redeploys for critical services.​

Application Traffic Everywhere, Prophaze Bring It All Into One Dashboard

Security and platform teams get a single, actionable view of every protected site, API, and service, with no more jumping between tools or consoles. Prophaze’s unified on prem WAF dashboard helps you spot threats faster, understand traffic patterns, and adjust protections with confidence.
