Security and observability for containers and Kubernetes

Reduce risk

Improve security and compliance through a prevention-centric approach with Calico’s  security posture management. Detect both network and container-based known and zero-day threats. Calico encrypts all communication between workloads by default, ensuring confidentiality and data integrity.

Drive operational effectiveness

Save time, reduce effort, and simplify processes. Calico simplifies network security enforcement, accelerates network security management, and streamlines the integration of Kubernetes workloads with existing tools (firewalls, legacy apps). Get continuous monitoring of security risks and remediation actions that can be deployed quickly to address risks.

Lower costs

Create and operate multi-cluster Kubernetes environments without the need for a separate and expensive service mesh solution. Calico’s support for multiple tenants eliminates the need for separate clusters for each tenant, resulting in streamlined resource allocation and reduced infrastructure requirements. A single-pane-of-glass approach simplifies management, reducing the need for additional hardware support.

Minimize business outages

Real-time threat intelligence to stay ahead of emerging threats. Comprehensive monitoring and analytics to promptly address any issues before they escalate into major incidents. Calico proactively detects and responds to potential threats, enabling rapid incident response to reduce the risk of a business outage.

Commitment to Open Source

We are committed to developing, cultivating, and supporting open-source projects and communities.

Project Calico

We are the creator and maintainer of Project Calico, an open-source project with an active development and user community. Calico Open Source was born out of this project and has grown to be the most widely adopted solution for container networking and security, powering 8M+ nodes daily across 166 countries.

eBPF, Envoy, and WireGuard

We actively use and promote popular open-source projects like eBPF, Envoy, and WireGuard. Calico provides a pluggable data-plane architecture enabling support for multiple data planes, including standard Linux, eBPF, and Windows. Calico also integrates with Envoy to provide observability functionality, and uses WireGuard to encrypt all in-cluster communications.
