Defense in depth and in practice, so you can secure everything, every time. Encrypt, authorize, and authenticate every network call between every application component in your environment. Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd delivers zero trust networking in the real world.
Transparently add encryption and bidirectional authentication to every network connection using industry-standard mutual TLS 1.3, the same standard that secures confidential traffic across the open internet. Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd delivers a universal, secure-by-default level of communication between pods, clusters, and even clouds.

We have offloaded the time and effort needed to develop and maintain the in-house mTLS solution, saving valuable engineering hours
Automatically authenticate connections using cryptographic proof of workload identity, not easily-spoofed IP addresses. Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd provides true workload identity based on Kubernetes ServiceAccount tokens or SPIFFE identities for all communication within the mesh, authenticating both sides for every single connection established.
Learn moreBuild human-readable, least-privilege access policies that cover workload identity, HTTP routes, gRPC methods, and more. Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd provides a rich and flexible policy layer, encoded as native Kubernetes resources, that allows you to control exactly which types of communication are allowed in your environment, down to individual HTTP routes.
Learn moreGo beyond firewalls and perimeter defense by building per-pod and per-instance security boundaries around every application component. Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd delivers encryption, authentication, and authorization at the level of individual components, allowing you to truly follow the zero-trust principle of “verify everywhere, every time”..
