Driving Policy-as-Code Transformation for Global 2000 Companies

Global 2000 enterprises are tackling the growing challenge of managing complex access controls across cloud-native environments. Styra, powered by Open Policy Agent (OPA), is revolutionizing the way organizations approach policy enforcement with a policy-as-code solution that ensures automation, security, and compliance at scale.

Challenges Faced by Enterprises:

Managing access controls across distributed cloud infrastructures often results in:

• Time-consuming, manual policy management.
• Inconsistent enforcement across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Growing security risks from lack of centralized policy control.

Styra’s Solution:

Styra’s Declarative Authorization Service (DAS) is built on OPA, offering a scalable, automated policy management solution that centralizes policy creation, enforcement, and auditing. This eliminates the overhead of managing policies manually and enables real-time policy enforcement across applications, APIs, and data resources.

Styra DAS ensures consistent policy enforcement by:

• Providing fine-grained access control with the ability to define rules at the most granular level.
• Supporting policy-as-code to enforce policies at runtime across diverse infrastructures like Kubernetes, microservices, and cloud-native applications.

Meanwhile, Styra’s Enterprise OPA (EOPA) offers enhanced security features, auditing, and governance capabilities for large-scale deployments, integrating seamlessly with DevOps pipelines to automate security policies and governance at every stage of development and deployment.

Tangible Business Value:

For Fortune 500 companies, adopting Styra’s DAS and EOPA results in measurable financial outcomes:

• Annual savings of $10M - $25M by reducing manual policy management and cutting operational overhead.
• Additional revenue of $10M - $20M by enabling faster, more secure cloud-native deployments.

Why Styra Stands Out:

1. Scalability: Styra’s OPA-powered DAS provides enterprise-grade security, enabling organizations to scale policies seamlessly across any cloud or hybrid infrastructure.
2. Granular Policy Control: With support for fine-grained access policies, Styra allows companies to define, test, and enforce policies at the most detailed level, reducing security risks and operational friction.
3. Automation and Agility: Styra integrates directly with existing DevOps workflows, ensuring that security policies are applied automatically during development and at runtime, enabling faster go-to-market times.

Key Differentiators:

• Native OPA Integration: Styra’s DAS is built directly on OPA, offering unparalleled flexibility and control over policy enforcement across Kubernetes, Istio, Terraform, and more.
• Comprehensive Policy Management: Styra supports ABAC, RBAC, and custom policies, making it easier for enterprises to manage complex authorization scenarios.
• Audibility and Compliance: EOPA offers enterprise-grade governance and auditing capabilities, allowing businesses to meet stringent compliance requirements while maintaining continuous security enforcement.

Customer Success:

Fortune 500 companies using Styra have reduced policy management time by up to 50%, achieved faster cloud-native transformations, and significantly reduced security risks—all while unlocking millions of dollars in savings and additional revenue streams.

Conclusion:

Styra offers an industry-leading solution for policy-as-code management, transforming how Fortune 500 companies secure their infrastructure. By adopting Styra DAS and EOPA, enterprises can streamline operations, reduce costs, and achieve unmatched ROI—all while ensuring consistent, scalable security across their cloud-native environments.
