Announcing: Confluent add-on for Ockam Orchestrator

Tamper-proof and end-to-end encrypted secure channels through Kafka in Confluent Cloud, with zero-code changes.

That's right, no code changes 🤯 just a few simple commands and you're done.

Here's a step by step example, please give it a try:

The only way to make security tenable is to build products that that are designed to have a much smaller vulnerability surface than status-quo.

We can't keep playing an infinite game of whack-a-mole that we're destined to loose.

Approaches like memory safe languages (#rustlang) & end-to-end encrypted authenticated communication (#ockam) eliminate entire classes of security failures - reducing risk by orders of magnitude

Well written case:

Secure-by-design systems - shrink the target.

Rust - memory safety mistakes in your code cannot be used as a target.

Sigstore - library & container dependencies cannot be used as a target.

Ockam - systems that transport/store your data cannot be used as a target.

Drastically shrinking the target (your app's vulnerability surface) is the only practical approach to security for modern applications.
