Security News > 2021 > February > Tigera launches Calico Cloud, a pay-as-you-go SaaS for Kubernetes security and observability

Calico Cloud gives DevOps, DevSecOps, and Site Reliability Engineering teams a single pane of glass across multi-cluster and multi-cloud Kubernetes environments to deploy a standard set of egress access controls, enforce security policies for compliance, and observe and troubleshoot applications.

Calico Cloud is Kubernetes-native and provides native extensions to enable security and observability as code for easy and consistent enforcement across Kubernetes distributions, multi-cloud and hybrid environments.

"Without observability, security is incomplete. Calico Cloud combines both to offer DevOps and SREs a simple, resilient, secure, and performant service, so they can focus on what matters most: operating services that are secure, observable, and easy to troubleshoot," said Ratan Tipirneni, CEO of Tigera.

Egress access controls: Calico Cloud limits access to and from external endpoints on a "Per-pod" basis including access to microservices, cloud databases, cloud services, APIs, and legacy applications.

East-west security controls: Calico Cloud limits the blast radius when a security breach results in an APT. Calico Cloud's "Defense-in-depth" approach provides protection on three levels: host, container/VM, and application, and can perform micro-segmentation for both container and VM workloads.

Calico Cloud enables organizations to comply with regulations including PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR. Observability and troubleshooting: Calico Cloud generates a Dynamic Service Graph that observes microservices behavior and interactions at run-time and provides detailed information to speed troubleshooting, and automatically identifies and highlights performance hotspots.
