The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
Prisma Cloud (Palo Alto Networks), Aqua Security, Trend Micro, Lacework, Orca Security, Wiz, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, Sysdig, VMware Carbon Black Workload, and SentinelOne are widely recognized among the leading vendors in the Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) market for their breadth of workload coverage, runtime protection, and integration across multi‑cloud and hybrid environments. Prisma Cloud offers comprehensive host, container, and serverless protection with deep posture and runtime controls that tie into Palo Alto’s broader security ecosystem. Aqua Security focuses on cloud‑native environments with strong image scanning, runtime enforcement for containers and serverless, and open‑source contributions that improve visibility and control across CI/CD pipelines. Trend Micro provides a broad set of hybrid and cloud workload protections within its Vision One suite, combining threat detection, advanced malware protection, and integration with traditional security controls to serve enterprises with mixed on‑prem and cloud estates.
Lacework and Orca Security represent two different architectural approaches that have driven significant market adoption: Lacework emphasizes behavior‑based anomaly detection and a data‑driven Polygraph model for automatic threat hunting and compliance across containers, Kubernetes, and VMs, while Orca’s agentless SideScanning™ gives rapid, deep visibility into cloud workloads and prioritizes risks without heavy endpoint agents. Wiz has risen quickly by delivering agentless, context‑rich risk insights that connect vulnerability, configuration, identity, and network risk into prioritized findings for remediation across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Microsoft Defender for Cloud provides native integration into Azure (and cross‑cloud visibility for AWS and GCP), combining CSPM and CWPP capabilities with built‑in compliance and threat protection that appeals to large Azure‑centric enterprises.
Sysdig, VMware Carbon Black Workload, and SentinelOne bring specialized strengths that complement broader CWPP capabilities: Sysdig leverages open‑source technologies like Falco to deliver container and Kubernetes runtime visibility and incident response for cloud‑native applications. VMware Carbon Black Workload integrates workload protection with VMware’s virtualization and cloud management stack, delivering behavioral EDR‑style telemetry and policy enforcement for workloads across private and public clouds. SentinelOne’s Singularity Cloud Workload Security extends the vendor’s autonomous, AI‑driven detection and response model into cloud workloads using eBPF and unified telemetry to protect VMs, containers, and serverless functions while supporting CNAPP capabilities such as entitlement management and posture scanning.
