Redpanda Connect with Ockam is the only enterprise-scale, zero-trust, streaming data platform that is simultaneously easy to deploy, secure-by-design, and highly performant.SAN FRANCISCO, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ockam teamed up with Redpanda to launch Redpanda Connect with Ockam: the first zero-trust streaming data platform. This is a natural partnership because both companies have the same ethos; to enable every developer to build distributed systems, at scale, with simple tools. Both companies' products are based on popular open source projects and are built by veteran, high-performing teams."Enterprise executives tell me that their high value streaming applications take a long time to build and to ship," said Matthew Gregory, Ockam's CEO. "Their biggest obstacle is the construction of secure streaming data connections across their siloed enterprise, and between partner companies. Secure data streaming is now simple to set up, trivial to maintain, and almost impossible to mess up. We've unlocked data so application development can move fast."Enterprise Kafka product vendors defer zero-trust implementation details to their customers
