A Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) is a security solution designed specifically for protecting cloud workloads, including virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions. They offer a range of capabilities such as monitoring, threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance enforcement.
CWPPs differ from traditional security measures in their ability to adapt to the dynamic nature of cloud environments, offering scalable security solutions that align with the fluidity and on-demand nature of cloud services. They are also able to monitor misconfigurations and security issues specific to a wide range of cloud services and resources.
