# Armour

The goal of Armour is to secure applications developped using micro-services. A feature of micro-services is that they can be developed by loosely connected teams (using different programming languages) and deployed independently. This approach hampers security and safety analysis, and it makes end-to-end security arguments hard to establish.

Armour provides a custom programming policy language to describe security policies at
  the API level of micro-services and a distributed enforcement infrastructure, composed of a data plane, containing a proxy that enforces an Armour policy for each micro-service, and a control plane, that manages multiple data-planes, to secure applications developed using micro-services.
