Reblaze has announced the general availability of Curiefense, a unified, open source security platform protecting cloud native applications and APIs in the enterprise.

According to the company, Curiefense builds upon modern practices such as GitOps and provides native security support for containerized deployments such as Kubernetes and service meshes such as Istio.

In addition, Curiefense gives developers the ease of deployment and extensibility of open source applications, while offering a full suite of API and application protection, including DDoS, WAF, and advanced bot detection.

While legacy providers decrypt, analyze and store customer traffic on proprietary infrastructure, Curiefense maintains complete privacy, eliminating the need for third-party access to customer traffic and data.

Tzury Bar Yochay, CTO and co-founder of Reblaze, said: “Open source is the new frontier for security companies. To defend the modern enterprise, collaboration is key. We are excited to announce Curiefense and partner with the Envoy, Kubernetes and other cloud native communities to bring enterprise security to developers at scale.”

Specifications include: GitOps based, drivable via API or UI; Application and API protection including DDoS, WAF, advanced rate limiting, and session flow control; Real-time analytics/metrics, integrated with Prometheus/Grafana and ELK stack; Built-in automated threat feeds + bring your own; and Advanced bot detection/biometric human verification.
