"Curiefense for Cloud-Native Application Security"
Curiefense for Cloud-Native Application Security is an authoritative guide designed for professionals navigating the evolving complexities of modern cloud-native architecture. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of containerized, microservices-driven environments, the book disentangles the unique threat models, operational challenges, and security trends shaping today’s application landscape. Foundational chapters provide crucial insight into the principles of zero trust, security automation, and the comparative merits of open source and commercial defense solutions—offering readers both context and practical frameworks for robust protection in dynamic, distributed systems.
With an in-depth exploration of Curiefense’s architecture, the book reveals how this open source platform integrates seamlessly with tools like Envoy Proxy, Kubernetes, and popular service mesh solutions. Practical sections guide the reader through deployment models, policy engineering, and high-stakes traffic management—including API gateway protection, inter-microservice (east-west) controls, advanced rate limiting, and defenses against the OWASP Top 10. Through clear explanations and targeted examples, it addresses challenges of scalability, automated policy enforcement, rollback strategies, and disaster recovery—equipping teams to design secure, resilient infrastructures for cloud and hybrid environments.
The latter chapters offer hands-on guidance for optimizing performance, observability, and cost management, while also delving into advanced integrations and extensibility—from custom filters and Lua scripting to third-party threat intelligence and automated response workflows. Real-world case studies illuminate enterprise deployments across regulated and internet-scale settings, and forward-looking discussions explore the impact of AI and machine learning on adaptive security strategies. Whether you’re a DevSecOps engineer, architect, or security leader, Curiefense for Cloud-Native Application Security provides the tools and vision necessary to protect workloads in an era of continuous change.
