About Curiefense
Curiefense is an open source security platform designed to protect cloud native applications, including websites, services, and APIs. It offers comprehensive defenses such as web application firewall (WAF), application-layer DDoS protection, bot management, session profiling, and advanced rate limiting. The platform is built for DevOps teams and integrates seamlessly with popular proxies like NGINX and Envoy, enabling protection at multiple levels including microservices, containers, and service meshes.
Curiefense is API-first and supports automation through UI, cURL, and Swagger, with configurations managed in JSON/YAML and versioned via Git. This makes it ideal for enterprises adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps practices. The platform runs anywhere with deployment options including Docker Compose, Helm charts, and Terraform, providing flexibility for diverse cloud and on-premises environments. It emphasizes privacy and performance by keeping security enforcement within the network perimeter, avoiding third-party latency and data exposure, which helps enterprises maintain compliance and control over their security posture.
