Styra, Inc. creates and maintains Open Policy Agents (OPA) and is one of the leading cloud-native authorization firms. The company recently introduced the toolset for infrastructure to its Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) and the industry’s broadest policy library. In addition, Styra offers NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-190 compliant policies within its expanded library that includes hundreds of validated policies to address security concerns associated with the use of containers.
Styra speeds up the deployment of secure, compliant cloud-native infrastructure and gives enterprise platform teams the tools they need to deploy resources for distributed developers systematically. This saves time and money while keeping security best practices.
To ensure security, compliance, and operational health, platform engineers repeatedly write or customize software that stops developers from making errors, and over time build customized guardrails that automatically impose security rules, compliance regulations, and other operational policies each time a developer makes a change. This effort often includes undifferentiated heavy lifting, which adds complexity, risk and creates a significant barrier to on-time delivery. It is when enterprises cannot afford to choose between security and business time-to-market platform, engineering teams can benefit from policy editing for business users, validate building blocks and policy-as-code guardrails to deliver infrastructure resources without compromising security instead of building them from scratch-in-house.
Styra enables infrastructure-managing platform teams to:
-
Eliminate manual policy creation and reduce production risks systematically for infrastructure deployments by utilizing policy templates and editing tools that are simple to deploy.
-
Deploy faster with hundreds of Styra-validated AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes policies for Terraform from the most popular open-source tools and libraries.
-
Easily enforce best practices and compliance for Kubernetes clusters with NIST SP 800-190 compliant policies from Styra, in addition to an extensive collection of Styra validated policies for PCI DSS, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS Benchmarks, and Pod Security Compliance.
-
Enforce policy guardrails on CloudFormation stacks to prevent AWS resource misconfiguration during final resource change checks with the first general-purpose third-party CloudFormation hook from Styra.
