Features Comparison

Prophaze Web Application Firewall

AI Behavioral Detection
Machine learning-based threat detection identifies attacks through behavioral analysis, not just signatures.
Kubernetes-Native WAF
Built on Kubernetes platform for seamless integration with containerized microservices deployments.
Zero-Configuration API Protection
Adaptive profiling automatically learns API behavior and protects endpoints without manual rule configuration.
Bot Mitigation
Detect and block malicious bots while allowing legitimate automation and search engine crawlers.
DDoS Protection
Layer 3-7 DDoS mitigation with automatic traffic scrubbing and rate limiting.
Virtual Patching
Immediate protection against known vulnerabilities without requiring application code changes.

Traceable Application & API Security Platform

API Discovery & Posture Management
Automatically discover every API from live production traffic including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and WebSocket. Identifies shadow, zombie, and orphaned APIs with continuous risk assessment.
Runtime WAAP Protection
Cloud-native WAF and API protection against OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, SQL injection, XSS, and application-layer attacks with behavioral ML detection.
API Security Testing (AST)
Zero-config security tests generated from real and replayed traffic. Integrated with CI/CD pipelines for automated pre-production vulnerability discovery. No inactive endpoint noise.
Bot Protection
Advanced bot detection using behavioral analysis, volumetric detection, browser/device anomaly detection, and custom policies. Distinguishes legitimate bots from malicious automation.
DDoS Protection
Mitigates large-scale traffic floods and application-layer DDoS attacks with rate limiting and anomaly-based detection.
Sensitive Data Discovery
Automatically identify API endpoints handling sensitive data (PII, financial, regulated) without appropriate authentication or zero-trust policies.
AI-Powered Insights
AI chatbot for natural-language queries about APIs, threats, and exposures. AI explains detected issues, assesses severity, and recommends remediation in developer-friendly language.
WAF Integration
Integrates with existing WAFs (AWS WAF, Cloudflare) to add API context and advanced threat detection without replacing your current security stack.
