# Consul Service Mesh
Consul Connect provides service-to-service connection authorization and
encryption using mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS). Applications can use
[sidecar proxies](/docs/connect/proxies) in a service mesh configuration to
establish TLS connections for inbound and outbound connections without being aware
of Connect at all. Applications may also [natively integrate with Connect](/docs/connect/native)
for optimal performance and security. Connect can help you secure your services and provide data
about service-to-service
communications.
