Operationally Araali builds resilience with a single command, requires no configuration, and guarantees no harm/packet drops. Let your dev team innovate freely, as your security team guards their back. It works on AWS EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE.Under the hood:It uses an Identity paradigm that reduces your app's reliance on passwords/tokens. Apps talk to each other based on Araali Identity and not a token (similar to what SSO did to user password). Araali fully manages the identity lifecycle.It auto-discovers authorization for each app so that you can lock it down to its least privilege. This defends your app against vulnerability exploits, zero-days, and malware in a deterministic manner. The policies are portable - discover once in dev and use on prod - any cloud.Curious? please send me a message to hear more about Araali NetworksI lead: Product Management - Strategy, Product Roadmap, Planning, Competitive Analysis, Customer/Sales interactions, etc. Bridge b/w customer and eng team.Marketing - Collaterals, Product positioning, Website, Email, and Social marketingPartnerships - with AWS (marketplace), Google Cloud, Nirmata, and Rafay SystemsCustomer Success - deployments, onboarding, POCs, and customer successCompliance -drove SOC2 Type 1 and 2 compliance process for AraaliRead about the product: https://araali-networks-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction_to_araali_networks.html
