The financial industry’s digital transformation is highly reliant on applications, just like the rest of the software development ecosystem. This requires everyone involved to invest in application security management as part of the effort to protect their data and systems.

As part of Styra’s vision for unified authorization, we founded the Open Policy Agent project (OPA) to make policy-based control of the cloud-native stack accessible to everyone.
