Overview
Tigera’s Red Hat certified Operator makes it easy to install, manage, and upgrade Calico as the CNI in your OpenShift clusters. Red Hat and Tigera help organizations build security into their container and Kubernetes environments by offering a Kubernetes-native solution that extends the declarative nature of Kubernetes to specify security and observability as code.
Also certified with Red Hat OpenShift, Calico Enterprise helps you successfully ensure a consistent enforcement of security policies and compliance, and provides observability for troubleshooting across multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and hybrid deployments.

Container Security
Calico Enterprise is an active cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) with full-stack observability for containers, Kubernetes, and clouds.
What can you do with Calico?
It works across the build, deployment, and runtime phases of application and resource life cycles to protect your cloud-native application platform and workloads.
It also provides unified controls, real-time monitoring and visualization, and policy definition and application for consistent security and observability across multicluster, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments like Red Hat OpenShift.
KEY FEATURES INCLUDE
- Image assurance
- Configuration assessment
- Runtime threat defense
Run Calico in an Enterprise-ready Kubernetes distribution
Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise-ready, security-focused hybrid cloud platform with built-in DevOps tools and security capabilities — including Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux), security context constraints (SCC), identity and access management, data encryption, and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode — that are activated by default.
Ready to address regulatory compliance challenges
The Kubernetes-native architecture embeds the solution into your application environment to provide detailed security controls and improved visibility between the network and microservices layers.
What can you do with Calico?
This solution also integrates with your existing security tools, environments, and security operations centers (SOCs) to provide additional controls and capabilities for modern workloads. Finally, the solution can encrypt sensitive data to comply with regulatory mandates like Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
