Understanding Zero Trust Security with Service Mesh
A presentation at Devoxx Poland in June 2022 in Kraków, Poland by Viktor Gamov
Abstract
As the number of microservices deployed across private and public networks increases, security is critical. Leveraging a Service Mesh guarantees the security of applications and services without burdening developers to build security, freeing them to focus on business logic and allowing organizations to meet and prove their compliance and security requirements. In this demonstration, you will learn how Kong Mesh enables Zero Trust security for your application and services by: Enforcing mutual TLS communication Applying traffic permissions to control which services can communicate to other services Natively integrating with the Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce fine-grained authorization
