Case Study: Upwork achieves zero-trust security for containerized applications with Tigera Calico

Upwork secures EKS clusters in 6 months with Tigera

Upwork, the world's work marketplace, faced a security challenge when migrating its applications to Kubernetes on Amazon EKS. Their legacy system could not enforce zero-trust security, and their InfoSec team mandated full protection for the platform. The vendor Tigera provided its Calico solution to address this need.

Tigera's Calico was deployed within two weeks and helped Upwork secure its containerized applications and EKS clusters in six months. The solution successfully met the zero-trust security mandate, reduced the platform's attack surface, and accelerated application rollouts after the migration to Kubernetes.
