The Web Application Firewall, at the Edge and inside the Mesh
See how Greymatter runs the OWASP Core Rule Set at the edge and on the services a team picks, tests it on real traffic, and records the decisions.
Inside the whitepaper
A firewall at the edge protects the edge.
Most traffic in a modern system never crosses the perimeter. Services call services, and agents call APIs. One compromised workload can attack its neighbors without touching the edge.
Greymatter builds a web application firewall into its data plane as a native filter. A team turns it on at an edge gateway, on a service, or both. It needs no appliance, plugin, or extra hop.
The same protection runs on any service a team chooses, with the caller attached.
The central point
What you will learn
- How the OWASP Core Rule Set runs in the same data plane as the mesh.
- How to replay recorded traffic against the rules before a change ships.
- How to add custom rules for a specific application or API.
- How decisions land in one record with the caller and the rule.
