Styra Introduces Repo Scan
September 01, 2022

Styra introduced Repo Scan as the newest feature in the Styra Declarative Authorization Service (DAS).

With this new addition, Styra now provides near-instant scanning of configuration files in GitHub, so that Platform teams have the power to proactively prevent errors from making their way into production.

Styra now provides a simple, efficient way for developers and platform teams to check their configuration files for human error, mismanagement or simple deployment gaps. This ensures potential attackers don’t have the ability to exploit configuration errors, and “walk through the front door” of today’s software-defined infrastructure.

“No human can keep up with scanning thousands of lines of code, with infinite repetition, to ensure configuration changes and app updates don’t have unintended consequences.” says Chris Hendrix, Director of Product Management at Styra. “At Styra, we want to make our users’ jobs easier while ensuring that the applications and infrastructure they’re building is secure and compliant. This new addition to Styra DAS lets our customers shift their security policy left, all the way to code check-in time, to catch errors even earlier, and remediate risk from the start.”

Repo Scan gives Platform teams a near-instant solution for scanning policy-as-code files in GitHub then quickly finds and flags issues to minimize the possibility of risk to security, compliance or availability. This new capability means Styra customers can:

- Quickly find errors within seconds and prove those errors have been fixed with dynamic compliance reporting

- Empower developers and enable tooling diversity using OPA-based policy that is fully extensible across platforms and tooling

- Enhance productivity with automated policy enforcement that monitors and enforces policy guardrails from GitHub check in, to CICD, to production deployment
