Tigera Calico

Tigera Calico provides Kubernetes-focused container security with image scanning, admission control, and runtime threat defense tied to network policy enforcement. Its main differentiator is that security controls are enforced through Calico’s workload communication layer rather than a separate agent-heavy stack. It fits teams running Kubernetes clusters that want pod-level prevention and response.

• Mid-market to enterprise organizations running complex, multi-cluster Kubernetes environments that require granular, network-centric runtime security and microsegmentation.
• Enforcing zero-trust microsegmentation across Kubernetes pods and hosts
• Detecting and blocking anomalous runtime network traffic in real time
• Encrypting pod-to-pod traffic in transit using WireGuard
• Meeting compliance mandates via flow log auditing and admission control
