Cloud-native applications take full advantage of the distributed, scalable, flexible nature of the public cloud deployments thus generate a significantly greater percentage of east-west traffic. This shift has created a larger attack surface area and greater potential for free lateral movement within these application infrastructures. Microsegmentation allows security, platform owners, and networking professional to create secure “islands” within their distributed infrastructure and control access to those islands for all types of users, whether they are outsiders, customers, or employees logging in from various locations. It is central to implementing a zero trust security model for cloud-native applications.

In this webinar, we will talk about how Calico’s common segmentation model and unified policy framework works across all environments, including any combination of cloud and hybrid providers, cloud instances, Kubernetes distributions, and containers.
