Summary

Kubernetes network policies are essential for securing microservices, but their implementation can be complex due to the need for collaboration between developers and operations teams. Sysdig Secure addresses this challenge with its new Sysdig Network Policy feature, which offers a user-friendly way to create accurate Kubernetes network policies without requiring mastery of a new policy language. This feature provides out-of-the-box visibility into network traffic, a visual topology map, and automated generation of Kubernetes Network Policies (KNPs) based on observed network behavior and user adjustments. By leveraging Kubernetes metadata to abstract away physical-layer complexities, Sysdig facilitates the creation of least-privilege microsegmentation while ensuring that network policies are portable and not intrusive. This allows teams to focus on defining network behavior in their own terms while leaving the enforcement to Kubernetes' native controls, ultimately streamlining the process and enhancing network security without performance drawbacks.
