Network Request Blocked at Runtime on Kubernetes Pods
Network Policy Examples
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: db-access-policy
namespace: production
spec:
podSelector:
matchLabels:
app: mysql
ingress:
- from:
- podSelector:
matchLabels:
role: backend
ports:
- port: 3306
protocol: TCP
Database Access Control
- Restrict database access to authorized services
- Prevent unauthorized scanning & reconnaissance
- Enable monitoring of all connection attempts
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: tenant-isolation
namespace: tenant-a
spec:
podSelector: {}
ingress:
- from:
- namespaceSelector:
matchLabels:
tenant: a
egress:
- to:
- namespaceSelector:
matchLabels:
shared: true
Multi-tenant Isolation
- Complete isolation between tenant namespaces
- Allow specific cross-namespace communication
- Enforce strict egress controls

FAQs
Network microsegmentation isolates workloads using network policies, preventing unauthorized lateral movement and reducing the attack surface. For example, it ensures only the WordPress frontend can communicate with the MySQL database, blocking unauthorized access.
AccuKnox CWPP discovers workload behavior, generates least-privilege network policies, and enforces them using Kubernetes-native controls. This ensures, for example, MySQL only accepts requests from the WordPress frontend while blocking unauthorized traffic.
Yes, it restricts unauthorized east-west traffic, preventing attackers from moving between pods. If a pod is compromised, strict policies block access to sensitive resources like databases, stopping further exploitation.
Kubernetes network policies control pod-to-pod communication based on labels, while firewalls manage broader IP-level access. This allows fine-grained controls, like restricting backend access to only the frontend service.
AccuKnox analyzes traffic, detects communication patterns, and auto-generates policies. This automates security, ensuring only legitimate traffic flows between services—such as an API server accepting requests only from an authorized frontend.
