Proactive defense for Kubernetes that protects production.
Phorvex continuously determines the best defense: which workload to move, when, and how. It evicts footholds before any alert fires, and never at the cost of a stateful workload.
Why current defenses lose this fight.
Detection cannot see a zero-day
Detection-first tools cannot stop an exploit they have never seen. A quiet attacker emits no alert, so reactive tooling never acts.
Clocks are too slow and too predictable
Clock-based rotation loses to a fast attacker, and an adaptive one learns the schedule. The rhythm itself becomes intelligence.
Naive rotation destroys state
Rotating a pod by deleting it kills the stateful workload. The cure becomes the outage.
Decisions, not schedules.
Reads the live cluster
Your whole fleet, measured live and kept current as it changes. No hardcoded assumptions.
Moves only what matters
The workloads that cut the attacker off, and nothing that would destroy state.
Stays inside your limits
Availability and SLO limits are hard constraints. It determines the best defense, and decoys cannot bait it.
Acts safely
Through your existing policy controller, unmodified, or a native actuator. Global kill-switch, per-namespace dry-run, full decision audit trail.
Never destroys state
Phorvex refuses a destructive rotation on a stateful workload and quarantines instead. The attacker is disrupted. The job survives.
The benchmark.
Zero-day scenarios that emit no alert, against a blind rotation timer and a reactive-only baseline. Time to evict the attacker, in seconds. Shorter is better.
| Phorvex | Blind timer | Reactive only | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eviction dwell on a zero-day | ~5.5s | ~15.2s | ~20.3s, never acts |
| Prevention on a zero-day | 100% | partial | 0% |
| Stateful work preserved | 20 / 20 | 0 / 20 | 0 / 20 |
| Learnable by an adaptive attacker | No | Yes | n/a |
| False positives | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Real Kubernetes cluster, n=20, reproducible, controls clean.
