Styra, Inc., the founders of Open Policy Agent (OPA) and leaders in cloud-native authorization, will deliver OPA best practices for cloud app authorization, policy and security at three upcoming June events. As enterprises move containerized/cloud-native applications into production, workloads need to be secure and compliant with relevant regulations before they reach runtime. During the sessions, Styra will show how OPA authorization provides solutions to these issues and will present real-world use cases for OPA, all proven in production by the open source project’s community of users.
OPA and Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) provide developers with a common policy language, toolset and framework for policy across the cloud-native stack. OPA provides context-aware authorization policy across app, service and infrastructure APIs. Styra DAS provides the management plane for authoring, distribution, impact analysis, monitoring and audit controls for OPA policy. Together, OPA and Styra DAS provide a turnkey solution for controlling access across systems, to mitigate operational, security and compliance risk.

How do you control “who can do what” across the stack? How do you enforce authorization, admission control and risk management policies in your microservices, orchestrators and CI/CD systems? How do you implement low-latency policy enforcement in the polyglot environments that your company depends on? |
|||
|
|

|
Ash will introduce Open Policy Agent (OPA), an open source, general-purpose policy engine used by companies like Netflix, Intuit and CapitalOne to enforce policies across a breadth of domains such as custom applications, container-management, i.e. Kubernetes, public clouds, server management, etc. Ash will focus on the design of an OPA-driven application development process that results in the creation of secure microservices that are injected with an OPA sidecar, thereby empowering security teams to define custom security policies using OPA. |
