Description

Organizations worldwide continue to accelerate their cloud migration, driven by the surge of AI-native applications and services that on-premises systems are not designed for. Multicloud and hybrid cloud strategies are becoming the norm in their digital transformation journey. This has exposed new security challenges, such as inconsistencies in controls across cloud platforms and gaps in workload risk and threat visibility, that attackers have been quick to exploit.

A cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) manages these complex environments, providing comprehensive visibility and security protection for cloud workloads, applications, and data. These platforms enable automation, deep visibility, and the detection of anomalous behaviors and threats across diverse cloud workloads, such as containers, K8s clusters, and serverless functions.

A CWPP, which is normally agent-based, is a server workload-centric security solution to protect computing workloads in cloud environments (private, public, hybrid, and multicloud) from cybersecurity risks and attacks, regardless of the workload's location.
