CloudArmour covers Kubernetes security at three layers — network ingress filtering, container runtime monitoring, and compliance assessment — from a single platform.
Ingress traffic, runtime behavior, and compliance posture each need their own controls — and most tools only address one layer.
Ingress traffic often reaches application pods with minimal filtering. Cloud-provider firewalls may not inspect traffic within the cluster network.
Container runtime behavior — process execution, file access, network connections — is often invisible to security teams until after a breach.
CIS Kubernetes Benchmark compliance requires continuous assessment. Point-in-time audits miss configuration drift between reviews.
| Layer | Product | Deployment | What It Does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Layer 1 · Network | Neurowall — Ingress Filtering | DaemonSet on ingress nodes | Filter traffic at XDP before pods. Blocks malicious sources, enforces rate limits, applies threat intelligence. |
| Layer 2 · Runtime | Beagle — Runtime Monitoring | DaemonSet or sidecar | Monitor container behavior — processes, file access, network connections. Detect threats before they escalate. |
| Layer 3 · Compliance | Elf-Owl — Compliance Assessment | Read-only DaemonSet | Continuous CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks v1.8 assessment. Signed evidence for auditors. |
Filter malicious traffic before it reaches pods. Block known threats at the XDP layer on ingress nodes.
See exactly what is happening inside containers — processes spawned, files touched, network connections made.
Continuous CIS Kubernetes Benchmark assessment. No manual audit cycles. Signed evidence ready for auditors.
DaemonSet deployment means new nodes are automatically protected as the cluster scales.
Network, runtime, and compliance from CloudArmour. Consistent management instead of three separate security vendors.
Deploy across multiple clusters and manage centrally. Consistent policy without cluster-by-cluster configuration.
