Improved safety and observability for NeuroNation MED with Istio
To optimize the security and observability of its infrastructure, NeuroNation MED relied on the expertise of BAYOOMED. Together, the Istio-based service mesh was specifically improved to ensure the highest security standards and full transparency.
As part of the optimization, we reviewed the existing Istio installation and implemented mutual TLS encryption (mTLS) between the workloads. We also integrated the Kong Ingress Controller into Istio and configured the handling of egress traffic based on host headers to further increase security.
“Thanks to the great collaboration, we were able to significantly improve the security and transparency of our infrastructure. Through the targeted optimization of our Istio service mesh – including mTLS encryption, Ingress integration and comprehensive observability – we have taken an important step towards a future-proof architecture. We particularly appreciate the professional support in implementing security-relevant requirements in accordance with BSI TR-03161.”

For comprehensive monitoring, we set up Prometheus and Grafana in a dedicated monitoring namespace. This gives NeuroNation MED complete insight into Istio metrics and logs. In addition, we documented Istio’s cryptographic methods and random number generators in accordance with the requirements of BSI guideline TR-03161 to ensure compliance with the strictest security standards.
These measures have not only made NeuroNation MED’s infrastructure more secure, but also more transparent – for reliable and future-proof operation.
