Defense in Depth Strategy
External Request Protection:
DDoS Protection: Mitigates distributed denial-of-service attacks by detecting and neutralizing anomalous traffic patterns.
Web Application Firewall (WAF): Protects against common web vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Access Control:
API Gateway: Acts as a secure entry point for external requests, managing traffic and enforcing policies.
Authentication: Verifies the identity of users and services using secure protocols (e.g., OAuth, SAML).
Authorization: Ensures that users and services only access resources they are permitted to, based on role-based or attribute-based access controls.
Internal Communication Security:
Service Mesh: Secures service-to-service communication through mutual TLS (mTLS) encryption and dynamic service discovery.
Infrastructure Security:
Container Security: Scans and isolates containers to prevent vulnerabilities in the application stack.
Runtime Security: Monitors application behavior during runtime to detect and mitigate anomalies or unauthorized actions.
Security Monitoring:
Provides real-time visibility into the system, utilizing log aggregation, anomaly detection, and alerting mechanisms to proactively respond to potential threats.
Swarm’s layered security architecture ensures robust protection against external and internal threats, compliance with industry standards, and the safeguarding of sensitive workloads. This approach builds trust with users by prioritizing data integrity, confidentiality, and system resilience.
