COMPANY NEWS: Styra, the founders of Open Policy Agent (OPA) and leaders in cloud-native authorisation, today announced a new partnership with Kong, the cloud connectivity company and the creators of Kuma. The two organisations are aligned on a common vision to secure modern cloud-native applications with dynamic, policy-enabled traffic control for microservices. Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) is now integrated with Kong Mesh, an enterprise-grade service mesh built on top of open source Kuma, so security and operations teams can more easily meet internal and external regulations. Styra DAS and Kong Mesh together give teams granular control over traffic flow, and the real-time monitoring and historical audit records required to secure services and prove compliance.
