Users can deploy zero-trust workload security, enforce consistent security policies, and see a live visualization of applications and microservices communications. Calico Cloud works with default AWS VPC CNI in addition to Calico CNI. Tigera provides AWS-specific integration, such as AWS Control Tower, an AWS Bottlerocket, and AWS quickstarts. ## Benefits Plug-and-play container security platform that actively prevents, detects, and mitigates security breaches in container-based applications ![Zero Trust Icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2022/04/icon-zero-trust.svg) ### Reduce Attack Surface Enforce workload access controls to secure all external and in-cluster communication ![Threat Icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2022/04/icon-threat.svg) ### Detect & Stop Attacks Detect and block known and zero-day threats in your containers and network during runtime ![An outline icon of an umbrella above two gears.](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2022/04/icon-automatic-risk-mitigation.svg) ### Actively Mitigate Risks Deploy recommended security controls to mitigate exposure risks ## Key Features [![Zero-Trust Workload Access Controls icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-egress-access-controls.svg) #### Zero-Trust Workload Access Controls](https://www.tigera.io/features/access-controls/) [![Universal Firewall Integrations icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-firewall-integration.svg) #### Universal Firewall Integrations](https://www.tigera.io/features/firewall-integration/) [![Identity-Aware Microsegmentation icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-microsegmentation.svg) #### Identity-Aware Microsegmentation](https://www.tigera.io/features/microsegmentation/) [![Runtime Threat Defense icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/04/icon-Runtime-Threat-Defense.svg) #### Runtime Threat Defense](https://www.tigera.io/features/network-threat-detection/) [![Encryption icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/06/icon-encryption-1.svg) #### Encryption](https://www.tigera.io/features/encryption/) [![Workload-Based IDS and IPS icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/04/icon-Intrusion-detection-prevention.svg) #### Workload-Based IDS and IPS](https://www.tigera.io/features/workload-based-ids-ips-ddos-dpi-waf/) [![Compliance and Audit icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/04/icon-image-assurance.svg) #### Compliance and Audit](https://www.tigera.io/features/compliance-and-audit/) [![Dynamic Service and Threat Graph icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-dynamic-service-graph.svg) #### Dynamic Service and Threat Graph](https://www.tigera.io/features/dynamic-service-graph/) [![Dashboard icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-DNS-dashboard.svg) #### Dashboard](https://www.tigera.io/features/calico-dashboards/) [![Dynamic Packet Capture icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-dynamic-packet-capture.svg) #### Dynamic Packet Capture](https://www.tigera.io/features/packet-capture/) [![Application-Level Observability icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/04/icon-App-level-observability.svg) #### Application-Level Observability](https://www.tigera.io/tigera-products/service-mesh/) [![Multi-Cloud Security icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-multi-hybrid-cloud.svg) #### Multi-Cloud Security](https://www.tigera.io/tigera-products/multi-cloud-security/) [![Bottlerocket Integration icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-bottlerocket.svg) #### Bottlerocket Integration](https://www.tigera.io/blog/eks-bottlerocket-and-calico-ebpf/) [![Calico for Windows icon](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2023/07/icon-dataplane-Windows.svg) #### Calico for Windows](https://www.tigera.io/features/windows-dataplane/) ## Quick Start Developers and administrators who want to secure their containers and Kubernetes in Amazon EKS or Amazon EC2 clusters can get started with Calico Cloud in just a few minutes.
