Cloud-Native Application Protection at Runtime

Operant goes beyond cloud infra security to actively shield every layer of your applications at runtime

Defend your "cloud within the cloud" in real-time

Runtime Threat Deterrence

Moving beyond static infra layer dashboards or noisy eBPF sensors, Operant's runtime threat deterrence actively protects your live applications against a wide range of modern attacks from lateral movement to unauthorized access to cryptomining.

Automatic ASPM

With a single-step deployment and zero integrations, Operant automatically captures your live security posture, identifies and prioritizes open risks, and gives you real-time no code controls to directly eliminate vulnerabilities without any Jira tickets.

L7+ Microsegmentation

Moving beyond cumbersome and irrelevant IP-based rulesets from the old world, Operant provides API to API and Service to Service Microsegmentation so that you can control your application access and traffic flow at scale without manual setup or upkeep.

With zero instrumentation, your applications will be more secure

With a single-step install that takes less than 5 minutes, Operant provides unprecedented insights and fine-grained controls

Runtime Risk Scanning & Analysis

  • Live insights available with a single-step deployment
  • Identify and prioritize risks across all application layers
  • View the entire application stack across any cloud and any cluster in dev, staging and production with no instrumentation or application code changes

Runtime Enforcement

  • Take action on risks directly within Operant's interface
  • Create security policies and automatically extend them across the entire cloud-native environment
  • Enforce security policies within application internals drilling down to the level of specific API calls and service identities

Cloud-Native Microsegmentation

  • View all the real-time information needed to create Zero Trust segments for APIs and Services
  • Dynamically enforce rulesets based on relevant cloud-native identities, not based on irrelevant networking layer IP identities
  • Extend dynamic microsegmentation policies, namespace and identity/RBAC controls drift-free across Kubernetes clusters and multi-cloud setups

Save time and money while securing the entire product

Active Protection for the Entire Product

Actively protect against common attacks including lateral attacks, cryptomining, zero day vulns and more. Identify and prioritize product security blind spots across every application layer based on live data and remediate critical vulnerabilities directly within Operant’s interface without any extra engineering projects.

Amplify Security Without More Work

Always know what’s happening across your entire cloud application stack without any instrumentation, integrations, or manual upkeep. Eliminate manual remediation workflows by enforcing security policies automatically with zero drift across your entire cloud-native environment.

Reduce Costs & Complexity

Eliminate the cost of installation, integrations, maintenance, training, and tooling upkeep while being more secure. Slash your security TCO by consolidating the cost of your tooling from API security, KSPM, ASPM, Microsegmentation, and Runtime Threat Detection and Response into one purpose-built cloud-native solution that requires no integrations or instrumentation to work.

Accelerate Business Growth

Don’t let security hold your cloud-native product development back. Operant shields every layer of your applications and scales automatically as you grow. Deploy faster and more securely with full knowledge of your cloud-native environment + security guardrails that protect your applications from dev to staging to prod.

60% of data breaches in 2022 were caused by known vulnerabilities awaiting a patch

Real-world Example

A new checkout service deployment relying on third-party APIs wasn’t checking validating authorization controls for certain types of API calls, where attackers used a masked application user role to enter into this company’s application internals and initiate a lateral attack. The attacker could now recon and identify multiple open internal endpoints to exploit as they moved laterally to eventually reach sensitive end-user data. The breach in the checkout service instance allowed the attacker to hop through the recommendation service and payment service instances, eventually stealing PII and payments data stored in their AWS S3 bucket, causing a major data breach through multiple attack paths.

How Operant Solves It

Only Operant is able to stop this kind of unauthorized access and lateral movement because Operant understands all the runtime activities across every layer of the application and can enforce multiple security policies within your environment:

  • Operant identifies the open API instantly
  • Operant provides immediate remediation enforcement action through its SaaS control plane
  • Operant enables security and platform engineers to set up new authorization policies governing access controls to prevent future lateral attacks
  • Operant enforces those policies at runtime without drift in any new K8s cluster that is assigned via rule logic
