An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Cyber Armor provides a novel approach to cloud-native security via ‘static objects’ that it attaches to microservices in a Kubernetes environment, as well as many other types of service endpoints.
These static objects bear some similarity to agents or sidecars, except that they directly instrument both file and network I/O without requiring any changes to the microservices or other instrumented code.
Cyber Armor then creates transparent TLS tunnels joining each instrumented microservice so that only authenticated workloads can communicate with each other. In addition, Cyber Armor encrypts all such interactions.
The goal of Cyber Armor’s approach is to implement self-protecting workloads while also protecting the private keys at the heart of the TLS encryption.
