Premium Partner: This plugin is developed, tested, and maintained by Harness.

The Harness Web Application & API Protection (WAAP) by Traceable plugin lets Harness WAAP capture a copy of API request and response traffic flowing through Kong Gateway. The plugin then forwards the data to a locally running Traceable module extension (TME).

Using this data, Harness WAAP is able to create a security posture profile of APIs hosted on Kong Gateway. Based on its findings, the Harness WAAP plugin can also block traffic coming from malicious actors and IPs into Kong Gateway.

If your deployment routes traffic to AI-powered services, you can also attach the Harness AI Security plugin to the same Route or Service. Harness AI Security shares this plugin’s configuration to detect, redact, or block sensitive data in AI request and response traffic.

Install the Harness WAAP plugin

Prerequisites

The Harness WAAP plugin requires a Traceable Platform Agent (TPA) to be deployed in your environment. For complete agent deployment instructions, visit the Traceable by Harness docs site.

Install

Once you have deployed a Traceable Platform Agent, you are ready to install the plugin.

If you also plan to use the Harness AI Security plugin, see its Helm installation steps for both plugins’ configmaps in a single pass.
