Security
Protect sensitive data streams with granular access controls, field-level encryption, and centralized compliance management—all seamlessly integrated into your Kafka infrastructure.
Data breaches
Due to insufficient access controls.
Regulatory violations
Leading to fines and reputational damage.
Operational inefficiencies
From fragmented security implementations.
Conduktor Shield
Delivers centralized, robust security to your Kafka ecosystem, offering encryption, access control, and compliance enforcement without disrupting your workflows.
Before
Traditional encryption in Kafka is fragmented and inconsistent. Each application must implement its own encryption logic, leading to duplicate efforts, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps.
After
Conduktor ensures data is secured before it reaches Kafka. With centralized policies, teams can apply and update encryption in one place—no code changes needed.
Why Conduktor
Granular Access Control
Enforce field-level restrictions and role-based access for sensitive data streams.
Advanced Encryption
Secure data both in transit and at rest to meet PII, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA requirements.
Centralized Compliance
Simplify auditing with centralized policy management and global visibility.
Federated Security
Ensure consistent policies across multi-cluster environments and vendors.
Seamless Integration
Enhance Kafka security without disrupting your existing workflows.
Key Reasons for
Securing Streaming Data
01
Cloud Migration
Moving to a cloud Kafka provider means data leaves your network, creating new security risks that must be mitigated.
02
Compliance
Regulations require encryption of sensitive data; failure to comply results in hefty fines and reputational damage.
03
De-risk Leaks
Stakeholders expect strong security—partners don’t want PII exposure, and leadership demands protection of intellectual property.
