The new open-appsec WAF plugin for Kong Gateway (beta) brings machine-learning-powered security to your API gateway — protecting against OWASP Top 10, zero-day attacks, and more without signatures. Now available for Kong OSS and Enterprise, running on Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes.

open-appsec now offers beta integration with Istio Ingress Gateway, enhancing Kubernetes environments by protecting web applications from various attacks using AI-driven WAF technology. This integration adds security at the edge of service meshes, leveraging Istio’s advanced traffic management features.

In this blog we announce the availability of significant enhancements for managing the custom-resource-based configuration of open-appsec.
