CLOUD WORKLOAD PROTECTION

Your Source for Understanding Cloud Workload Protection

Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) solutions safeguard workloads in cloud environments like virtual machines, serverless functions, and containers. Organizations can minimize the risk of cyber threats by employing security features such as access control, data encryption, and threat detection. CWP continuously monitors and protects cloud workloads and offers a unified view of its security posture. CWP is critical for businesses seeking to protect their cloud workloads from cyber threats, ensuring the security, compliance, and availability of their cloud infrastructure.

Today’s hybrid, multi-cloud, and cloud-native development relies on temporary containers and workloads. This approach requires a seamless and comprehensive view across siloed environments, machines, and platforms. CWPP offers a single view with automated features that include:

  • Uncovering and revealing the workloads that are present within a cloud-based or on-premise infrastructure
  • Carrying out vulnerability assessments on those workloads to determine security risks
  • Executing security controls to mitigate prioritized security issues

CWPP fills a gap left by an endpoint protection platform geared towards on-premises only. And, because its focus is on workload protection and not its location or type, it can provide security monitoring across a broader scope of environments.
