What is Service Mesh Security?

Understanding Service Mesh Security

Service Mesh Security refers to the policies, measures, and mechanisms implemented within a service mesh infrastructure to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of communication and data exchange between services. It involves the enforcement of encryption, access control, authentication, authorization, and auditing mechanisms to protect microservices-based applications from internal and external threats. Service mesh security solutions often leverage mutual TLS (Transport Layer Security), role-based access control, and service-to-service authentication to secure the communication channels and data flow within the service mesh environment.
