Cilium
CHALLENGE
Complexity should not compromise security
As organisations embrace cloud native technologies and microservices, applications become increasingly distributed and interconnected. What was once a simple infrastructure can quickly evolve into a complex environment where understanding traffic flows, troubleshooting issues and maintaining security becomes significantly more challenging.
Limited visibility, inconsistent security policies and growing operational complexity can slow innovation and make it difficult to scale Kubernetes environments with confidence. At the same time, businesses need platforms that provide strong security and deep insights without introducing additional layers of complexity.
Together with Isovalent, Redpill Linpro helps address these challenges with Cilium. By combining networking, observability and security into a unified platform, you can gain greater visibility, stronger protection and the flexibility required to support modern cloud native applications.
SOLUTION
Modern networking and security for cloud native platforms
As cloud native environments continue to evolve, organisations need networking and security solutions that can scale without introducing unnecessary complexity. Modern platforms require deep visibility, strong security and the flexibility to adapt to changing requirements, all while maintaining performance and reliability.
Built on open source and powered by eBPF technology, Cilium provides high-performance networking, deep observability and zero-trust security for Kubernetes environments. By moving visibility and policy enforcement closer to the kernel, it can improve performance, simplify operations and reduce reliance on proprietary networking approaches.
With integrated technologies such as Hubble and Tetragon, you can gain detailed insights into traffic flows, application behaviour and runtime security events. This makes it easier to troubleshoot issues, enforce security policies and operate cloud native platforms with confidence. The result is a more secure, flexible and future-ready foundation for modern applications.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
As applications become more distributed, managing traffic between services and clusters becomes increasingly challenging. Cilium simplifies Kubernetes networking using eBPF technology, providing high performance, scalability and visibility without relying on traditional networking approaches.
Limited visibility makes troubleshooting and understanding dependencies difficult. With Cilium and Hubble, organisations gain real-time observability into traffic flows, service communication and application performance across Kubernetes environments.
Traditional network controls are often not enough for modern cloud native environments. Cilium enables zero-trust security through identity-based policies, helping organisations secure workloads and reduce the risk of lateral movement without introducing unnecessary operational overhead.
Yes. Cilium provides networking, observability and zero-trust security capabilities through eBPF-based technology, reducing the need for multiple networking layers and simplifying operations. Organisations can modernise Kubernetes environments while maintaining flexibility and avoiding proprietary networking approaches.
