Implementing Container Network Policies with Calico
Overview
Calico provides Kubernetes-native and extended network policy enforcement through its CNI plugin. This skill covers creating and auditing Calico NetworkPolicy and GlobalNetworkPolicy resources to implement pod-to-pod traffic control, namespace isolation, egress restrictions, and DNS-based policy rules using calicoctl and the Kubernetes API.
Prerequisites
- Kubernetes cluster with Calico CNI installed
- Python 3.9+ with
kubernetesclient library - calicoctl CLI tool installed and configured
- kubectl access with RBAC permissions for network policy management
Steps
Step 1: Audit Existing Network Policies
Use calicoctl and kubectl to inventory current network policies and identify unprotected namespaces.
Step 2: Implement Default-Deny Policies
Create default-deny ingress and egress policies per namespace as a zero-trust baseline.
Step 3: Create Workload-Specific Allow Rules
Define granular allow rules for legitimate pod-to-pod and pod-to-service communication.
Step 4: Validate Policy Enforcement
Test connectivity between pods to verify policies are correctly enforced.
Expected Output
JSON audit report listing all network policies, unprotected namespaces, policy rule counts, and connectivity test results.

mapping-mitre-attack-techniques
Maps observed adversary behaviors, security alerts, and detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and sub-techniques to quantify detection coverage and guide control prioritization. Use when building an ATT&CK-based coverage heatmap, tagging SIEM alerts with technique IDs, aligning security controls to adversary playbooks, or reporting threat exposure to executives. Activates for requests involving ATT&CK Navigator, Sigma rules, MITRE D3FEND, or coverage gap analysis.
