The companies are teaming up to secure modern cloud-native applications through dynamic, policy-enabled traffic control for microservices.
Styra Declarative Authorisation Service (DAS) is now integrated with Kong Mesh, an enterprise-grade service mesh built on top of open-source Kuma, designed to enable security and operations teams to more easily meet internal and external regulations.
When combined, Styra DAS and Kong Mesh is expected to give teams granular control over traffic flow, and the real-time monitoring and historical audit records required to secure services and prove compliance.
Benefits are tipped to include:
“When teams embrace a microservice architecture, they need to manage what those services can do. Styra and Kong both believe that microservices are the future of application development, and that controlling those services is critical to both performance and security,” Tim Hinrichs, co-founder and chief technology officer of Styra, said.
“This partnership makes perfect sense – since Kong’s API gateway and service mesh solutions provide the modern network control points for APIs and microservices, and Styra solutions provide the authorisation policy to control how and when those APIs are called.”
Marco Palladino, CTO and co-founder of Kong Inc added: “At Kong, our aim is to ensure that companies’ connectivity across APIs, hybrid and multi-cloud environments is reliable and runs seamlessly as their use of cloud-native applications increases.
“We are excited to work with Styra to advance policy scalability across our solutions, ensure that traffic flow is governed by policy, and meet the needs of developers and security teams alike.”
