A Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) is a security solution designed to protect workloads—such as virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions—across cloud and on-premise environments. As businesses adopt hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, CWPPs provide unified visibility, threat detection, and policy enforcement across dynamic workloads. These platforms are built to secure workloads throughout their lifecycle, ensuring consistent protection regardless of where they are deployed.
CWPP solutions defend your workloads against a wide range of threats, including malware, zero-day vulnerabilities, and unauthorized access. By offering runtime protection, vulnerability scanning, file integrity monitoring, and microsegmentation, CWPPs help reduce the attack surface and ensure real-time threat mitigation. They integrate with DevOps pipelines to ensure security is embedded from development to deployment, aligning with DevSecOps principles. With a CWPP in place, organizations can maintain workload integrity, comply with regulatory standards, and prevent breaches that could lead to data loss, downtime, or reputational damage.
