Crystal Eye Declarative
Authorisation Service (DAS)
Protect API workloads across hybrid cloud and AI environments
Implement Zero Trust with
Crystal Eye Declarative Authorisation Service (DAS)
One Platform, No Sprawl. Get started here.
Platform engineers, DevOps teams, cloud architects, security engineers and infrastructure managers who need consistent authorisation across containers, APIs, hybrid cloud, and distributed services. If you are dealing with microservices, Kubernetes, API sprawl, or multi-tenant environments, this is for you.
The Problem
Microservice and API architectures move faster than traditional controls can keep up. Firewalls don’t understand workloads. IP rules don’t map to containers. Admission controllers drift. CI/CD pipelines push changes without governance. Infrastructure teams have lost control as developers now spin up containers, APIs, and environments without oversight, creating inconsistent configurations and security gaps. The result is messy as authorisation happens everywhere but governance is fragmented. Infra is still held responsible for uptime and security, yet they no longer have the visibility or authority to enforce standards.
You end up with:
- Fragmented authorisation
- Inconsistent policies across environments
- Unmanaged API access
- No visibility into east-west traffic
- No way to enforce zero trust inside the service mesh
This is exactly where attackers slip in and where compliance breaks down.
Define clear “allow-on-need” policies once.
Enforce everywhere. See every decision in real time.
Key Features at a Glance
Centralised policy enforcement across Azure, AWS, on-prem, and edge.
Pre-configured compliance templates and instant audit logs.
Real-time blocking
via reverse
proxy.
Behavioural analytics and microsegmentation to limit insider risk.
Automated compliance reports
with full change
tracking.
Agentless zero trust policies for users, devices, and APIs under a SASE framework.
Unified platform integration
with TDIR, NDR,
and SOC.
Most authorisation tools stop at policy enforcement. Crystal Eye ties access control directly into Threat Detection, Investigation and Response (TDIR).
That means:
- No engineering overhead to integrate with SIEM or SOC
- Policy events flow straight into SOC, TDIR and NDR
- Microservice/API decisions become part of detection coverage
- SOC can correlate access failures, anomalies, and workloads instantly
- You get plug-and-play enforcement + runtime security in one place
Crystal Eye Declarative Authorisation Service
Authorisation-as-Code for APIs, Workloads, and Cloud
Crystal Eye Declarative Authorisation Service lets you define authorisation policies once and enforce them across Kubernetes, containers, APIs, serverless, and hybrid environments. It replaces IP-based controls with identity, context, and policy-as-code.
You Get:
- API and workload authorisation that travels with the service
- Admission control for Kubernetes and CI/CD
- Zero trust segmentation inside clusters
- Real-time policy decisions with full visibility
- A single policy plane across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem
No drift. No partial enforcement. No blind spots.
Built for AI and Modern Workloads
AI model control planes are a new attack surface. Crystal Eye Declarative Authorisation Service secures them without slowing delivery:
- Gate sensitive actions like deploy, retire, or rollback with approvals.
- Record every action: who, what, when, where.
- Block privileged containers and enforce least-privilege mounts.
- Apply egress allow-lists to stop shadow SaaS or data exfiltration.
- Enforce governance rules tied to model classification, lineage, and residency.
- Maintain a living inventory of signed approved images.
- Kill miner patterns, throttle risky API calls, and enforce budgets.
How Crystal Eye Declarative Authorisation Service Works
Discover
applications, workloads, and flows with live maps.
Define
rules based on identity, labels, and context; not IPs.
Enforce
policies that follow workloads as they move or scale.
Observe
with dashboards for latency, errors, and violations.
Improve
policies using real-time feedback and recommendations.
This model lines up with Gartner’s guidance to use identity and context, automate policy identification, and centrally manage across hybrid environments.
Authorisation isn’t an island anymore.
It’s part of end-to-end governance and response.
