Monitoring and securing Kubernetes-based healthcare services on Google Cloud: Cota Healthcare

Cota Healthcare, a company focused on improving cancer patient outcomes through technology and precision medicine, has transitioned to using Kubernetes on Google Cloud, enhancing its infrastructure with Sysdig for effective monitoring and container security. This move supports Cota's mission to handle large data sets securely while maintaining high developer productivity and reducing costs. Sysdig offers Cota the ability to gain comprehensive insights into their cloud infrastructure, which facilitates rapid troubleshooting, capacity planning, and the secure management of sensitive healthcare data in compliance with HIPAA standards. By leveraging custom metrics from Prometheus and StatsD, Cota can efficiently monitor application performance and ensure their infrastructure is right-sized, which has led to significant cost savings. The integration of Sysdig has also improved the speed of issue resolution, enhanced developer velocity, and provided the necessary visibility into system behavior to maintain a strong security posture.
