Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Data streams are flowing through your Kafka pipes tonight
But without security walls, you're fighting the wrong fight
Certificates in hand, we'll build our mTLS shield
SASL SCRAM passwords, OAuth tokens revealed
Authentication gates that guard your message store
Four pillars standing strong, defending at the core

[Chorus]
Auth then Author, Encrypt and Log
mTLS SASL, cutting through the fog
ACLs and RBAC, permissions that we trust
TLS in transit, at rest it's a must
Kafka security, four walls standing tall
Authentication, authorization, encryption, audit all

[Verse 2]
Once you prove who you are, now what can you do?
Access Control Lists mapping users to their view
Role-based controls from Confluent's enterprise way
Open Policy Agent integration holds sway
Granular permissions on topics, groups, and more
Authorization layer, second of our four

[Chorus]
Auth then Author, Encrypt and Log
mTLS SASL, cutting through the fog
ACLs and RBAC, permissions that we trust
TLS in transit, at rest it's a must
Kafka security, four walls standing tall
Authentication, authorization, encryption, audit all

[Verse 3]
Messages flying between brokers need protection strong
TLS configuration keeps them safe along
Controller connections, client communication too
End-to-end encryption, nothing bleeding through
At rest on disk, LUKS and dm-crypt shield
Or cloud KMS, same security yield

[Bridge]
Authorizer logs capturing every single call
Request logging shows who accessed it all
SIEM integration, correlating the flow
Audit trails revealing what you need to know
Four pillars together, defense infrastructure strong
Kafka security symphony, sing along

[Chorus]
Auth then Author, Encrypt and Log
mTLS SASL, cutting through the fog
ACLs and RBAC, permissions that we trust
TLS in transit, at rest it's a must
Kafka security, four walls standing tall
Authentication, authorization, encryption, audit all

[Outro]
From certificate handshake to the final log line
Four security layers, by design
Your streaming platform, bulletproof and sound
Kafka fortress built, security all around
