Detect malicious activity and protect your containerized workloads in Amazon EKS or AWS

As containerized applications become increasingly complex, it can be challenging to design and execute an effective container security strategy. With the growing trend towards cloud-based applications and services, cyber criminals are also evolving their attack techniques, making container security solutions more critical than ever. Calico provides robust detection capabilities to detect known and zero-day container and network-based attacks. In this blog, we will look at Calico’s capabilities to detect network-based attacks.

Calico offers comprehensive protection against both known and zero-day network-based attacks. Using a combination of workload-based IDS/IPS, Calio can detect and block connections to known malicious IPs identified with AlienVault and custom threat intelligence feeds. Calico also uses heuristics-based learning to identify anomalous network activity and prevent zero-day attacks. To further protect against OWASP Top 10 attacks, Calico provides a web application firewall (WAF) that can intercept attacks and prevent them from reaching your applications. Additionally, Calico can also block requests from malicious IPs to prevent DDoS attacks from overwhelming your system.

Malicious attack on cloud-native application and how to prevent it

In this blog, we will go through a scenario where an attacker compromises a public-facing application and gains a foothold in the AWS EC2 or EKS network Continue reading
