Stop Cyber Threats Before They Start

The Business Case for Proactive Policy Management

Cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. According to the latest CISA advisory, malicious actors are exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities at alarming rates. Waiting for the next patch or security update is no longer enough. To protect your business, you need a strategy that stops threats before they strike.

This is where Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Styra come in. Together, they redefine how organizations manage security by making policy enforcement proactive, scalable, and business-driven. Here’s why this approach matters—and how it delivers measurable results.

The Problem: Why Traditional Approaches Fail

• Vulnerabilities Are Exploited Faster: Attackers capitalize on weaknesses within days of disclosure.
• Security Delays Cost You: Slow patching leaves your business exposed, while manual processes drain resources.
• Compliance Is Growing More Complex: Managing policies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments is a constant uphill battle.

These challenges aren’t just IT problems—they’re business problems. Downtime, breaches, and compliance failures impact your bottom line and your reputation. Organizations that solve these challenges gain a competitive advantage.

The Solution: Proactive Policy Management with OPA and Styra

1. Reduce Risk with Real-Time Policy Enforcement OPA enforces fine-grained, context-aware security policies that dynamically adapt to your environment. Styra provides a centralized platform to create, manage, and monitor these policies across all your systems.

The Result:

• Fewer Incidents: Block unauthorized access and suspicious behavior before they escalate.
• Faster Response: Implement compensating controls immediately for vulnerabilities awaiting patches.

2. Accelerate Delivery Without Compromising Security Embed OPA into your CI/CD pipelines to catch vulnerabilities during development. Styra ensures consistency by applying secure-by-design policies across the lifecycle.

The Result:

• Speed to Market: Deliver innovation without delays from manual audits.
• Developer Productivity: Enable teams to focus on building, not debugging policy issues.

3. Simplify Compliance Across Complex Environments Styra’s pre-built policy packs address compliance frameworks like SOC 2, GDPR, and PCI DSS. With OPA, you can enforce these policies automatically in runtime environments.

The Result:

• Effortless Compliance: Avoid regulatory fines and pass audits with confidence.
• Centralized Governance: Manage policies seamlessly, even across hybrid and multi-cloud systems.

Proof of Value

A F500 company can deploy Styra and OPA to secure their global cloud infrastructure. In under 90 days, they:

• Pass their compliance audit without a single violation.
• Save millions by preventing potential downtime and breaches.

Their ROI? A safer business and a more agile operation—achieved faster than they thought possible.

The Business Value: Why You Should Act Now

The stakes have never been higher. Organizations that act proactively reduce risks, accelerate growth, and deliver value to their stakeholders. Here’s what proactive policy management gives you:

• Lower Costs: Preventing a breach is always cheaper than responding to one.
