How it works

An end-to-end policy lifecycle: governance, visibility, rollout, and analytics—built for enterprise change control.

Tip: Click steps to navigate the lifecycle.

●01 • Connect

Connect signals

Collect traffic, telemetry and intent from your existing network and security stack in a read-only, non-intrusive way.

Signal sources

Outputs

Service graphNormalized signals

Controls

Read-onlyNo agentsNo lock-in

●02 • Observe

Observe & baseline

Continuously observe service communication, build behavior baselines and detect drift before any policy is enforced.

●03 • Recommend

Generate recommendations

Generate least-privilege NetworkPolicy recommendations with full diffs and explainability — never enforced automatically.

●04 • Manage

Policy management

Manage policies with versioning, ownership and change control, similar to traditional firewall and network rule management.

●05 • Approve

Approval & ITSM integration

Integrate with existing ITSM and approval workflows to align policy changes with enterprise change management processes.

●06 • Roll out

Rollout & enforcement

Push policies directly to clusters or schedule deployments via cron — with versioned rollback for every change.

Monitoring & Analytics

Monitor OVN-Kubernetes ACL verdicts in real time, measure coverage and risk posture — in a single pane.

ACL Verdicts

Stream OVN-Kubernetes allow/drop decisions across clusters in real time.

Drift & Violations

Detect instantly when runtime behavior diverges from enforced policy.

Coverage & Risk

Which services are protected, which remain exposed — quantify your risk surface.

Anomaly Detection

Automatically surface deviations in traffic patterns for investigation.

Comparison

Compare policy posture across time periods, clusters or namespaces.

Reports & Export

Generate audit-ready executive reports with PDF and Excel export.

Live monitoring

Designed to fit your stack

Connect to the signals you already have—telemetry, security feeds, and operational workflows—without replacing existing tools.

Container Security Tools

Generate policies from radar data and security signals provided by your existing container security tools.

Kafka Flow Ingestion

Ingest network flow data via Kafka per cluster, persisted and enriched by the Radar service.

GitOps: GitHub, BitBucket, GitLab

Push policy files to Git with PRs—versioned rollout with clear ownership and review.

Jira, ServiceNow, Linear, Azure DevOps

Change records, approval gates and alignment with enterprise change management processes.

OVN-Kubernetes Monitoring

Monitor OVN-Kubernetes ACL allow/drop verdicts in real time via AllowDropMonitor.

Multi-cluster K8s & OpenShift

Manage multiple Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters from a single pane of glass.
