Isovalent, now part of Cisco, delivers an enterprise-grade platform that advances Kubernetes networking, security, and observability. Built on eBPF technology and the open-source Cilium project, Isovalent provides a unified, scalable solution designed to meet the complex demands of modern cloud-native environments. It complements Cisco's portfolio by extending Cisco's security and networking capabilities into Kubernetes and hybrid multi-cloud infrastructures, enabling enterprises to securely run mission-critical applications at scale.

The Isovalent Enterprise Platform addresses key challenges faced by organizations adopting Kubernetes, including fragmented tooling, lack of visibility into east-west traffic, and the complexity of securing dynamic workloads. By integrating deeply with Cisco's Hypershield, Splunk, and network fabric products, Isovalent offers a consistent, agentless layer of networking, security, and observability that operates at the infrastructure level. This approach reduces operational complexity, accelerates incident response, and enhances compliance readiness, making it essential for enterprises requiring high availability, security, and performance in their Kubernetes environments.

Enterprise-Grade Kubernetes Networking: Provides multi-cloud, multi-cluster networking with service-aware load balancing and transparent encryption, ensuring reliable connectivity across hybrid environments.

Identity-Based Security: Enforces zero-trust policies based on workload identity rather than IP addresses, enabling secure segmentation and compliance even as workloads scale and move.

Runtime Security: Offers advanced threat detection and exploit prevention inside Kubernetes clusters without requiring application changes or sidecars.

Rich Observability: Delivers deep visibility into network flows, service dependencies, and runtime behavior, integrating with Cisco's security analytics tools like Splunk for enhanced threat detection and forensic analysis.

Scalability and Performance: Designed to scale with Kubernetes infrastructure, supporting high throughput and low latency for AI/ML workloads and other demanding applications.

Unified Platform: Consolidates networking, security, and observability into a single platform, reducing tool sprawl and operational overhead for platform, security, and network teams.

Seamless Integration with Cisco Solutions: Acts as the eBPF-powered foundation for Cisco Hypershield, enhancing Cisco's hybrid and multi-cloud security strategy by extending protection and visibility into Kubernetes and cloud-native workloads.

The Isovalent Enterprise Platform offers seamless integrations with various third-party solutions, and integrates with Cisco's Hypershield and Splunk, enabling advanced Kubernetes security, visibility, and connectivity capabilities. 

• Integration with Cisco Hypershield and Splunk for enhanced security and observability.
• Compatibility with any SIEM, log aggregation, or monitoring platform that supports Prometheus metrics.
• Support for DevOps-based security visibility and distributed exploit protection.
• The platform's ability to extend Cisco's ecosystem into Kubernetes and cloud-native environments.
• Seamless insertion into Kubernetes environments with no need for sidecar proxies, application changes, or underlying infrastructure changes.
• Rich observability via Hubble UI and service map, along with network and runtime security events for forensics, audit, and alerting.
• Support for multi-cloud consistency and hybrid cloud deployments.

These integrations enable enterprises to unify networking, security, and observability across their Kubernetes infrastructure while leveraging existing third-party tools and Cisco's security portfolio, providing a comprehensive and scalable solution for modern cloud-native environments
