Formal Description

Formal serves as a reverse proxy that is aware of protocols, enhancing security measures for databases, APIs, infrastructure, and AI tools by implementing least privilege principles at the wire-protocol layer. This tool is deployed as a singular stateless binary within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using platforms like Terraform, Kubernetes, or Docker, effectively positioning itself between users and resources without necessitating alterations to applications, SDKs, or agents. Formal supports the analysis of over 15 distinct protocols, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Snowflake, SSH, Kubernetes, HTTP, MCP, S3, Redis, RDP, BigQuery, ClickHouse, and DynamoDB, which empowers it to make decisions based on specific queries rather than relying solely on broad network filtering. Furthermore, its policies can oversee user authentication and authorization, mask or filter data fields, modify requests, prohibit certain actions, mandate multi-factor authentication, isolate sessions, revoke access, or enable impersonation throughout the stages of session, request, and response. Additionally, teams have the capability to protect AI agents and MCP servers by eliminating personally identifiable information before it is processed by a model, preventing unauthorized calls to tools, and meticulously auditing each action taken. This comprehensive approach not only enhances security but also ensures compliance with data protection regulations.
