mTLS for Kubernetes workloads with Otterize & Venafi

PLATFORM

Overview

Otterize, integrated with Venafi, provides an exemplary solution for comprehensive mTLS in Kubernetes. Increasingly sophisticated cyber threats demand that every machine identity be authenticated and managed through its entire lifecycle. In this context, the intent-based access control of Otterize coupled with Venafi's strong solution suite is vital.

Applicability

The integration of Venafi and Otterize Cloud caters to enterprises seeking fully automated, streamlined machine identity management and verification while adhering to intent-based access control (IBAC) policies.

Value Highlights

  • Provides full life-cycle automation for certificates and keys in the Otterize Cloud.
  • Intent-Based Access Control (IBAC) for stringent validation and less unauthenticated access.
  • Improves efficiency and reduces administrative overhead.
  • Enhanced protection and seamless management via the integration.

Solution Components

How it Works

Declare and apply intents to easily secure access to workloads running in Kubernetes clusters, automating the provisioning of access policies, such as network policies, Kafka ACLs, AWS IAM, and the generation and deployment of mTLS certificates between the workload and its clients using cert-manager as the certificate provider.
