Get Zero Trust Out of the Box

Simplify security with Tetrate’s Istio-powered service mesh, providing built-in Zero Trust protection without code changes. Align with CISA and NIST guidelines for a defense-in-depth strategy.
Strengthen Cyber Resilience

Enforce least-privilege access and continuous verification to prevent breaches and limit attack impact.

Reduce Operational Complexity

Streamline Zero Trust with built-in security controls like (m)TLS and OPA management.

Move Faster

Offload security tasks to the mesh, boosting productivity and securing applications efficiently.

Ensure Compliance

EO 14028, OMB B 22-09, NIST SP 800-207A, FIPS 104-2, NIST SP 800-204A-C, FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53 rev5.

Zero Trust Technical Features

Service Identity and Authentication

Verifies users and devices regardless of location. Ensures only authorized services can communicate.

Fine-Grained Access Controls

Enforces RBAC, ABAC, and NGAC from organization to container level. Restricts access to authorized entities.

mTLS Encryption

Encrypts microservice communications end‑to‑end for data confidentiality.

Integration with External Authn/z (OIDC, OPA)

Supports external authentication and authorization for seamless policy enforcement.

Multicluster & Multi-Cloud Visibility

Monitors service interactions, detects anomalies, and provides audit logs for security investigations.

Defining Zero Trust Principles with NIST

Tetrate and NIST define and promote federal Zero Trust security guidelines for government and enterprises, ensuring protection in a cloud-first, remote-work model.

Publications co-authored by Tetrate founding engineer Zack Butcher include:

  • SP 800-204 A – Building Secure Microservices-based Applications Using Service-Mesh Architecture
  • SP 800-204 B – Attribute-based Access Control for Microservices-based Application Using a Service Mesh
