Case Study: Aporeto achieves stronger, simpler cloud-native security and full visibility with InfluxData's InfluxDB

Aporeto - Customer Case Study

Aporeto, a San Jose–based security vendor for cloud-native and legacy applications, faced the breakdown of traditional perimeter and IP-based security as enterprises moved to hybrid, multi‑cloud and microservices architectures. The company needed a way to provide fine‑grained, always‑current protection for individual application components, real‑time and historical visibility for DevSecOps, zero changes to source code, and a scalable method to record the high volume of flow and workload events generated by dynamic environments.

Aporeto deployed lightweight enforcers that attach identity‑based, zero‑trust policies to workloads and auto‑generate editable rules, while using InfluxDB as a high‑throughput time‑series database to ingest, store and visualize security events. The solution delivers stronger, easier‑to-manage security across Kubernetes and non‑Kubernetes environments—including AES‑256 encryption, CI/CD codification, comprehensive real‑time and historical visibility for forensics and alerts, and faster developer velocity without code changes.
