Zero Trust Architecture

Open Policy Agent (OPA)

Open Policy Agent is a CNCF-graduated open source general-purpose policy engine that enables unified, context-aware policy enforcement across APIs, microservices, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. In Zero Trust implementations, OPA serves as the Policy Decision Point (PDP) evaluating access requests against defined policies written in the Rego language.
