Q3 2025 UPDATE
Hello,
Welcome to the fall edition of the Greymatter newsletter! Q3 marked a major milestone: the launch of Greymatter 2.0—our most ambitious release yet. This update delivers agentic mesh orchestration, advanced zero trust controls, and powerful tenant management that drive measurable efficiency and business value. Our customers continue to lead the way in modern application and API networking, and this issue highlights the real results, innovation, and industry recognition that defined Q3.
Tangible Business Outcomes
Deployment Costs Down 30%, Security Strengthened
Automates mesh and security configuration, cutting onboarding and maintaining from weeks to hours. Teams deliver faster, scale easier, and reduce operational spend while improving consistency across workloads.
Security Incidents and Compliance Risk Reduced
Enforces Zero Trust and unified policy controls to secure every connection. Customers see up to 40% fewer violations, with simplified compliance across DoD Zero Trust, PCI, FIPS, FedRamp, and GDPR.
Audit and Observability, 50% Faster Resolution
Unifies telemetry and audits for real-time visibility. Teams cut incident detection and root cause analysis by up to 50%, improving reliability and customer confidence through full event traceability.
Technical Breakthroughs: What IT and DevOps Leaders Need to Know
Automated Tenant Lifecycle
Tenant onboarding and offboarding are now fully autonomous. The platform tracks Kubernetes namespaces and injects proxies, edge and AI gateways, and security policies without manual updates or CI/CD annotations to deployments. IT teams spend less time on YAML and configuration and more time delivering value.
Autonomous GitOps, Decoupled Control & Least Privilege
Greymatter automates mesh and security policy updates through GitOps, with all changes tracked in version control for auditability. Teams apply least privilege access and policies per tenant or namespace. Decoupled configuration makes changes fast, consistent, and easy to deploy across clusters, environments, or even clouds—enabling secure delivery and simpler compliance.
Enterprise-Grade WAF
Greymatter integrates a built-in OWASP Web Application Firewall (WAF) into the service mesh, delivering automatic, inline protection for mission-critical APIs and web-facing services. You can enforce security policies at the perimeter instantly, block common attacks like SQL injection and XSS out of the box, and tailor WAF behavior by tenant without downtime or manual intervention.
