Zero Trust Security for Legacy Apps with Service Mesh
summary
Claims a quick onramp to Zero Trust for VM‑based legacy apps without rewriting code, using Consul Connect sidecars to add mTLS between services. Demo wires a Python app to Postgres via sidecar proxies, issues service identities, and enforces an intention policy that can deny the call — the app stops connecting when policy blocks it. Notes this worked for Apigee Private Cloud across hundreds of deployments and removes IP whitelisting and firewall churn.
