Forum Sentry is a data security product designed for Docker-based microservices architectures. It provides API security and access control for containerized environments, supporting both east-west (internal service-to-service) and north-south (external client-to-service) data protection. The product is deployed as a Docker container node, enabling security to be embedded directly within microservices infrastructure without requiring custom coding. It enforces Zero Trust principles at the Docker node architecture level, ensuring that no implicit trust is granted within the environment. Forum Sentry includes built-in identity and security capabilities for microservices, eliminating the need for developers to implement these functions manually. Deployments are automated and can be completed within minutes, supporting elastic and on-demand scaling to accommodate dynamic workloads. The product also provides auditing and flow control capabilities, giving administrators visibility into data movement and the ability to govern traffic within microservices deployments.
