WEFT / Runtime protection

Protect running applications
beside the workload.

Assess container and application runtime risk, introduce practical prevention and detection, tune policy safely, and verify that controls work.

What the engagement changes

Focused work. Clear ownership. Verified results.

01 / Prevention

Reduce exploitable runtime paths.

Harden identity, privilege, network, image, gateway, WAF, and rate-limit controls around the application.

02 / Detection

See suspicious behavior without collecting everything.

Use focused, redacted signals and health evidence that stay connected to the affected workload.

03 / Response

Turn an event into a safe action.

Define owners, triage paths, containment choices, rollback, and verification before an incident.

Service coverage

Know exactly what can be in scope.

The final scope is based on your application, environment, access, deadline, and risk—not a generic checklist.

Runtime

Runtime assessment

Review workload identity, privileges, network paths, secrets, images, and container or host controls.

Coraza

Web and API protection

Design and tune gateway, WAF, OWASP CRS, and rate-limit controls beside the application.

Falco

Container detection

Use bounded behavioral signals to detect suspicious container and host activity.

Policy

Policy rollout

Move from observed behavior to reviewed enforcement with rollback and health checks.

Response

Incident support

Connect runtime evidence to the affected workload, owner, and practical containment path.

OTel

Verification

Confirm that protections are running, receiving the right signal, and responding as designed.

Customer-controlled protection

Keep enforcement in your environment.

Controls can be reviewed and deployed beside the workload so your team retains production authority and sensitive traffic stays local.

  • ✓Workload and route-specific scope
  • ✓Pinned, reviewable configuration
  • ✓Separate monitor, enforce, and rollback decisions

Detection and response

Collect enough evidence to act, not the whole workload.

Normalized events support investigation while raw request content and sensitive command data remain outside the central workflow by default.

  • ✓Bounded event fields and redaction
  • ✓Health and delivery monitoring

How the service works

From approved scope to verified decision.

Testing depth and access are matched to the environment. Findings move through review, remediation support, and comparable retesting.

01

Map the runtime

Identify workloads, routes, identities, sensitive operations, existing controls, and response owners.

02

Assess and design

Prioritize exploitable paths and choose controls that fit the architecture and operational tolerance.

03

Observe before blocking

Introduce monitor-mode controls, review behavior, and tune false positives where appropriate.

04

Enforce and verify

Enable approved protections, test health and response paths, and keep rollback available.

Runtime boundary

Protection stays customer-controlled.

WEFT helps assess, design, configure, and verify controls; it does not claim to be a global edge network or volumetric DDoS provider.

Inspect trust practices
  • ✓Production enforcement changes require the agreed customer approval path.
  • ✓Raw bodies, authorization values, cookies, and sensitive command data are excluded from central evidence by default.
  • ✓Monitor mode is used where immediate blocking could harm availability.
  • ✓Edge DDoS absorption and universal exploit prevention require separate infrastructure and are not implied.

Questions, answered

Know the work and its limits.

Need to evaluate a specific application?

Talk to us
Do you operate a hosted WAF or proxy our traffic?

Not by default. The service is designed around assessing and helping deploy customer-controlled protections beside the workload.

Can you help secure containers already in production?

Yes. The engagement can assess deployed images and configuration, privileges, runtime behavior, controls, and response paths, subject to approved access.

Can every exploit be prevented?

No. Runtime controls reduce and detect defined risks but do not replace secure code, delivery controls, patching, architecture, monitoring, or incident response.
