Deepfence
Deepfence offers a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform that utilizes Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology to provide real-time threat detection and remediation across Kubernetes, serverless, and virtual machine environments. The platform reduces alert fatigue by filtering out 90% of non-critical security alerts, enabling organizations to maintain a robust security posture while effectively managing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.

Problem
Cloud-native environments face challenges in securing workloads due to their dynamic nature and distributed architecture. Traditional security tools often generate a high volume of alerts, many of which are non-critical, leading to alert fatigue and delayed response to genuine threats. Securing Kubernetes, serverless functions, and virtual machines requires deep visibility and contextual understanding across cloud, network, and application layers.
Solution
Deepfence provides a Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that leverages Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and eBPF technology to deliver real-time threat detection and remediation. The platform consolidates security signals from cloud, network, and application layers, providing a holistic view of the security landscape. By correlating vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, misconfigurations, and malware, Deepfence prioritizes and filters out non-critical alerts, reducing alert fatigue and enabling security teams to focus on the most pressing issues. Deepfence offers both open-source (ThreatMapper) and enterprise (ThreatStryker) versions, providing solutions for vulnerability management, cloud security posture management (CSPM), and cloud workload protection (CWPP).
Target Audience
The primary audience includes security practitioners, DevSecOps teams, and cloud architects responsible for securing cloud-native applications and infrastructure in Kubernetes, serverless, and virtual machine environments.
