• Secure: Consul's service mesh ensures secure and authorized service-to-service communication, offering encryption, observability, and resilience for application traffic.
• Automate: Consul automates complex networking tasks like load balancers, firewalls, gateways, VPNs, and more to streamline application deployment and Day 2 operations.
• Scale: Consul enables scalable service networking solutions for organizations dealing with challenges of networking across multiple datacenters while ensuring global visibility and control.

Why Consul
Consul enables us to fully automate networking tasks across our datacenter environment to provide improved, self-service alternatives to the most time-consuming aspects of our work and significantly accelerate application delivery.

• Enabled self-service for developers to deploy services
• Reduced lead time of launching services from days to minutes
• Helped simplify and bring observability to a developer's deployment experience
• Created a powerful additional way for developers to operate with least privileges by default

From securing the perimeter to authenticating identity
With the shift to cloud and hybrid infrastructure, companies no longer manage static IT estates with clear perimeters. Instead, networks and IPs can’t be trusted, and each application and user could pose a threat. That’s why organizations are adopting identity-based security architectures built on the foundation of zero trust. With Consul, organizations reduce risk with:

• Identity-based access for uniform service networking policies
• Encrypted and authorized service-to-service communication
• Centralized and granular access control
• Consistent security across multiple clouds and runtime environments

Build your identity-based security toolkit
HashiCorp’s suite of products for security and networking help organizations adopt best practices for zero trust security:

• Manage secrets and sensitive data with Vault
• Manage secure remote user access with Boundary
• Discover and securely connect services with Consul

Extend Consul across your IT environment
Consul provides a single control plane to enable a broad ecosystem for service networking.
