Traditional WAFs Were Built for a Different Cluste

Perimeter controls protect north-south traffic. Modern attacks live inside the cluster, moving laterally between microservices, abusing APIs, and exfiltrating data without triggering a single ingress alert.

WAFs rely on static signatures and manual tuning

API gateways lack advanced runtime behavioral intelligence

East-west service communication remains invisible

Token replay and service identity abuse go undetected

A Unified KWAAP Platform Built for Cloud-Native Runtime Security

Prophaze KWAAP delivers inline runtime protection directly inside Kubernete combining WAAP, API security, bot mitigation, and Layer-7 defense into one adaptive platform built for modern microservices architectures.

KWAAP Overview Guide

AI-Driven Runtime Intelligence Inline Inside the Cluster

Prophaze KWAAP processes every HTTP/HTTPS request, and service-to-service calls are processed in-line with AI-driven behavioral analysis. Legacy static rules are replaced by real-time learning that separates legitimate traffic, bots, and attackers without performance hits.

Runtime Traffic Visibility

Monitors Kubernetes API and service traffic without code changes or instrumentation.

AI Anomaly Detection

Detects API abuse, bots, and malicious runtime activities instantly.

East-West Lateral Movement

Detects unauthorized workload interactions across Kubernetes environments.

Prophaze KWAAP

Deep Protocol Inspection

Inspects API payloads, JWTs, flows, and parameters detecting Layer-7 threats.

Behavioral Baselines

Builds behavioral profiles for APIs, workloads, users, and service patterns.

Adaptive Threat Enforcement

Blocks malicious API traffic using throttling, isolation, and runtime enforcement.

KWAAP Fits Your Architecture - Any Environment, Zero Downtime

Deploy Prophaze KWAAP across Kubernetes, cloud, hybrid, or on-prem environments in minutes without disrupting CI/CD workflows, deployments, or platform operations.

From Runtime Blind Spots to Kubernetes-Wide Protection 3 Steps

Prophaze KWAAP continuously learns your Kubernetes environment, detects advanced runtime threats, and enforces adaptive protection across APIs and workloads automatically.

Discover & Learn Runtime Behavior

  • Continuously analyzes APIs, service communication, workloads, and user behavior across Kubernetes environments.
  • Adaptive behavioral baselines eliminate manual rule creation and reduce operational overhead.

Detect and prioritize real Layer-7 threats

  • Correlates API abuse, Layer-7 attacks, and abnormal service activity using AI-driven intelligence.
  • Focus security teams on high-impact threats while minimizing false positives.

Enforce adaptive protection everywhere

  • Instantly blocks malicious requests and enforces adaptive policies across Kubernetes environments.
  • Protection evolves automatically as services, APIs, and workloads scale.
