Jonathan Holmes explains the importance of operationalizing security. This is especially important in a decentralized, service-based architecture in this article originally published by The New Stack.
In today’s decentralized, service-based architecture, securing cloud-native, on-premise, and hybrid systems presents a complex challenge. Traditional perimeter-based security methods no longer suffice in environments with distributed applications, services, and data across multiple clouds. Legacy systems complicate security further. Enterprises need to embrace cloud-native automation to address these challenges. Implementing a mesh networking layer provides consistent security, control, and visibility across all components.
Greymatter.io’s platform offers a solution for organizations looking to simplify security in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. By operationalizing security with a mesh networking layer, Greymatter.io enables businesses to implement uniform encryption. It also provides access control and policy enforcement across both cloud-native and legacy systems. This approach ensures that organizations can protect their entire IT ecosystem, regardless of deployment model or platform vendor.
With a managed mesh networking infrastructure, Greymatter.io enhances observability, reduces complexity, and enables organizations to quickly spot security anomalies. The platform simplifies operations by capturing telemetry, logs, and security data across environments, reducing the cognitive load on security teams. This unified approach helps businesses respond faster to security incidents and ensures a consistent security posture across all IT components.
Greymatter.io also provides the ability to implement granular security policies and access controls, including role-based and attribute-based access, across hybrid environments. This capability allows organizations to govern their decentralized systems effectively while gaining deep insights into their infrastructure.
