Microservices are loosely coupled software that provides flexibility and scalability to a cloud environment. However, securing this open architecture from vulnerabilities and malicious actors can be challenging without a service mesh. This blog post will demonstrate how you can create an Istio and Calico integration to establish a service mesh that will manipulate HTTP traffic in the application layer.

Tigera provides the industry’s only active Cloud-Native Application Security Platform (CNAPP) for containers and Kubernetes. Available as a fully managed SaaS (Calico Cloud) or a self-managed service (Calico Enterprise), the platform prevents, detects, troubleshoots, and automatically mitigates exposure risks of security issues in build, deploy, and runtime stages across multi-cluster, multi-cloud, and hybrid deployments.
