Wallarm WAF for Kubernetes

Integrates with Kubernetes infrastructure

Stronger Native Security for Kubernetes

Provide and support stronger native security for Kubernetes infrastructure with Wallarm. Wallarm’s node for Kubernetes natively deploys with an Ingress controller to provide API security and L7 protections for distributed applications. The management of the Wallarm image is performed with a standard Helm Package Manager or by using kubectl. To install the Wallarm-instrumented controller, you can add it from an existing HELM repository. Full deployment instructions are available at the documentation portal.

Monitoring with Prometheus

Wallarm natively integrates with Prometheus for streamlined monitoring of the APIs and their security. The service is monitored by collectd; information on the number of requests, number of attacks, number of blocked attacks and a variety of error conditions can be exported in JSON format or directly into Prometheus.

Security in CNCF Community

With protected microservices, attack mitigation, and DevOps-friendly post analytics, Wallarm brings true security and ease-of-use to the centerpiece projects of LF and CNCF communities.

The environment is very dynamic, and there are a lot of applications and APIs to protect, so we needed a solution that is automated, self-tuning, and centrally managed.

We tried to use mod_security, but there was a lot of pain with the complicated rules / signatures and non-stop false positives.

Wallarm was able to profile the normal operation the web infrastructure and identify the application-layer (L7) DDoS attack.
