Key Features

Calico Encryption

Data-in-transit Encryption

Protect sensitive data that falls under regulatory compliance mandates.
Calico utilizes WireGuard to implement data-in-transit encryption. WireGuard runs as a module inside the Linux kernel and provides better performance and lower CPU utilization than IPsec and OpenVPN tunneling protocols. Calico supports WireGuard for self-managed environments such as AWS, Azure, and OpenShift, and managed services such as EKS and AKS.

Least Privilege Access Controls

Protect your application by allowing access to only the information and resources that are necessary. Calico implements least privilege access controls by denying all network traffic by default and allowing only those connections that have been authorized, including ingress and egress outside the cluster.

Leverage Calico’s policy recommendation engine or define granular policies yourself to connect cluster resources externally, via application API paths and web methods.

Get notifications for unauthorized attempts to connect to another service or location.

Defense-in-Depth

Get automatic alerts for security policies changes. Calico monitors and logs all changes to policies, including the version history. The change history shows exactly what changed and is the first step in providing security forensics that provide a record identifying what happened and how.
