Dapr : Zero Trust Security for Distributed Applications

Dapr improves the zero trust security posture of distributed systems out of the box by assigning application identities to all apps, ensuring that mTLS is enabled by default for all interservice and infrastructure communication.

The standards around security in software development are ever increasing in response to the need for greater protection. This article looks at the open source project Dapr, distributed application runtime, which contains a rich security feature set that allows developers to “shift left” with security and embed industry-standard best practices into their applications during development. Dapr provides a set of APIs to solve common distributed systems challenges around state management, workflow and data.
