Containerized Applications Exposed East-West, Prophaze MeshGuard Locks Down

Secure east-west traffic and APIs in Istio/Linkerd/Consul with AI-driven WAAP—block OWASP Top 10, DDoS, bots, and zero-days without sidecar bloat or config drift. Deploy in <10 minutes across EKS, AKS, GKE, on-prem.

  • Zero-trust mTLS + Layer 7 defense baked into your mesh infrastructure
  • Auto-discover shadow APIs across multi-cluster deployments
  • Always-on L3-L7 DDoS shield—unmetered, no extra SKUs

How Prophaze Fits Kubernetes Environments

Why DIY Meshes & Legacy WAFs Fail Production Kubernetes

Traditional WAFs sit at perimeter edges while service mesh sidecars drain 30%+ CPU on east-west traffic—leaving undocumented APIs and zero-day RCE exploits invisible between microservices. Prophaze MeshGuard eliminates these gaps with a unified proxy layer that enforces zero-trust without config drift or performance tax.

Security Leads

Zero-day RCE exploits, east-west blindspots, PCI audit gaps

Prophaze MeshGuard Fix

SOC virtual patching + full traffic observability

DevOps/Platform

Istio sidecar CPU drain (30%+ overhead), multi-cloud config drift

Prophaze MeshGuard Fix

Lightweight ambient proxy + GitOps automation

Business/CTO

API scraping bots, DDoS downtime = $10K/minute revenue loss

Prophaze MeshGuard Fix

99.99% SLA + behavioral bot defense

From Exposed Clusters to Locked-Down in 3 Steps

Prophaze deploys as Kubernetes-native proxy—ambient or sidecar mode, any CNI. AI baselines traffic patterns and auto-applies SOC-tuned policies with zero downtime.

Step1

Deploy Operator
Helm chart/YAML—5-min install (K8s 1.25+)
Maps pods, APIs, baselines anomalies instantly
mTLS, WAF rules, rate limits go live automatically

Security Outcomes That Scale with Kubernetes

Organizations running Kubernetes and service mesh platforms use Prophaze MeshGuard to:

Reduce exposure to OWASP Top 10, RCE, API abuse by 95%

Stop automated abuse—malicious bots, credential stuffing, scrapers at L7

Maintain performance during DDoS spikes (99.99% SLA guaranteed)

Enforce consistent policies across EKS/AKS/GKE/on-prem clusters

Improve visibility—Kiali/Prometheus/Jaeger integration for SecOps

Support compliance—PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOC2 audit-ready reports​

Designed for Kubernetes and Service Mesh EnvironmentsEnvironments

Prophaze integrates cleanly into containerized environments without disrupting GitOps workflows or delivery pipelines.
Secure ingress traffic entering Kubernetes clusters (any API gateway)
Protect APIs powering microservices (REST/GraphQL/schema validation)
Monitor + control service-to-service communication (east-west mTLS)
Apply consistent controls across multi-cluster, multi-cloud deployments
Deployment Modes: Ambient proxy | Sidecar injection | Dedicated gateway

Security That Works Across Platform, DevOps, and SecOps

Prophaze supports cross-functional teams by aligning security with platform velocity:
  • 24/7 SOC triage + automated threat response playbooks
  • Role-based dashboards + SIEM/SOAR integration (Splunk/ELK)
  • Compliance reports with full audit trails
  • Terraform/Helm native—no custom YAML maintenance
  • Zero-downtime rolling updates + multi-cluster federation
  • <50MB proxy overhead vs Istio's 500MB+ sidecars
  • Policy-as-code + CI/CD testing hooks
  • GitOps promotion (ArgoCD/Flux compatible)
  • Staging simulation before prod deploy

Centralized Visibility Across Clusters and Services

Prophaze provides unified observability so teams can:

Understand access patterns—API endpoints, pod-to-pod traffic flows

Identify anomalies—ML baselines + real-time threat scoring

Respond confidently—one-click quarantine + forensic traces

Share insights across security, platform, and C-level dashboards

Mesh-Native Capabilities Legacy WAFs Can't Match

Threat Protection

  • OWASP Top 10: SQLi, XSS, RCE, broken auth, injection
  • API Abuse: Schema validation, rate limiting, data exfiltration
  • Virtual Patching: Block CVEs without application changes

Mesh Operations

  • Kiali/Prometheus/Jaeger integration for full observability
  • Role-based dashboards + enterprise SSO (Okta, Azure AD)
  • Multi-tenant isolation for dev/staging/prod environments

Automation

  • GitOps policy promotion (ArgoCD/Flux compatible)
  • REST API for SOAR orchestration
  • Staging policy simulation before prod deploy

Built for Production-Grade Cloud-Native Platforms

Prophaze supports organizations operating at scale—where uptime, performance, and security must coexist across modern cloud-native architectures.
