IronClad Encryption Corporation announced the availability of ICEMicro, the context-free and natively-secure container that enables all developers to take ownership of application data security. Utilizing ICEMicro, any developer can secure communication between containers across disparate scheduling and orchestration platforms, IaaS services, transport-layer security protocols, and on-premises or hybrid environments using Docker-compatible hypervisors. ICEMicro gives DevOps teams a way to build, deploy and run secure applications without the costs associated with legacy security strategies. To date, inter-container communications have not been addressed adequately by existing container orchestration frameworks and protocols. ICEMicro changes that by providing developers with a natively secure container image to package application code. Since secure communications are an inherent feature, any two ICEMicro containers can communicate securely ‘out of the box'.
