A fully managed platform to automate infrastructure on any cloud with HashiCorp products. HashiCorp Consul includes several built-in security features that protect against eavesdropping, tampering, and spoofings, such as access control lists (ACLs), TLS encryption, and gossip encryption.

When the Consul agent is restarted, and the configuration is read, the Consul client will submit an auto-config request to the Consul server cluster for validation. Once the Consul server cluster successfully validates the Consul client auto-config request, it will send all respective security settings to the Consul client.

To get started, check out the Automate Consul Agent Security with auto-config tutorial.
