Alcide is a Tel Aviv-based information security firm and a leader in cloud-native security. Founded in 2016, the company empowers DevSecOps to continuously secure their growing Kubernetes deployments with continuous code-to-production enforcement of security policies. Alcide helps organizations secure their distributed and complex cloud stacks, which often consist of thousands of nodes. The company has quickly adopted an architecture based on Kubernetes, allowing its platform to scale up and down according to its needs. As a fast-growing company with limited resources, Alcide places a priority on efficiency.
Alcide, a cloud-native security leader, was facing challenges in securing complex and distributed cloud stacks for organizations. The modern cloud deployment was intricate with numerous moving parts and shifting parameters, making it difficult to operate and secure. The traditional security protocols were not sufficient for the evolving technology standards and the convenience of the cloud. Alcide aimed to provide a complete security solution specifically designed for cloud-based infrastructure, but the process of provisioning new clusters was manual and time-consuming, taking up to 2-3 days. This was a significant drain on their resources and time, which were already limited.
Alcide turned to Google Cloud to optimize its architecture. The core of the new system was Google Kubernetes Engine, which provided easy provisioning of new clusters and built-in maintenance tools. Alcide's developers created a deployment template that fit their needs, making the creation of new environments quick and simple. Alcide also used Container Registry to maintain its container images, Cloud Load Balancing to manage high volumes of traffic, and Stackdriver for logging each of its clusters. Google Cloud Identity & Access Management enabled Alcide to simplify its security while streamlining procedures with granular control of permissions and authentications. By the end of its migration period, Alcide was using Kubernetes Engine for its testing, development, and production environments.
