The cloud remains an essential driver of growth and transformation for enterprises. In recent years, it has played an increasingly large role in delivering services to customers with unique scalability and speed. Securing the modern cloud involves protecting your assets, from virtual servers to cloud workloads.
As the number of ransomware attacks targeting organizations increases, some chip designers worry that the switch to the cloud from on-premises infrastructure may leave data more vulnerable to security threats. Organizations using clouds must therefore focus on security from the workload level rather than simply preventative endpoint protection. This is where cloud workload protection comes in handy.
Cloud workload protection (CWP) protects workloads that transfer across different cloud environments. An entire workload must be functional for the application to work as intended without any security risks. For this reason, cloud workload security and workload protection for application services are inherently different from those for standard desktop machine applications. CWP continuously monitors and removes threats from cloud workloads and containers.
IT research firm defines cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) as a solution “primarily used to secure server workloads in public cloud infrastructure as a service environment.”
CWPPs allow for multiple public cloud providers and customers to ensure a workload remains secure. They protect various types of workloads, regardless of location, across multiple providers.
CWPPs are security products that focus on workloads in hybrid, and multi-cloud data center environments. They provide visibility and control for virtual machines, physical machines, containers, and serverless workloads. CWPPs can also scan workloads during the development pipeline through a combination of integrity protection, behavioral monitoring, application control, intrusion prevention, and anti-malware protection,
Protecting workloads with CWPP is accomplished via two methods:
In the cloud, an individual workload contains the application, generated data, network resources, and processes to support the interactions between the user and application. If any part of this is compromised, the application will fail.
Cloud workload protection is therefore essential. It protects these workloads and containers while enabling enterprises to continuously build and run cloud applications with confidence. As workloads pass through multiple vendors and hosts, the responsibility for protecting them must be shared.
As workloads move through various environments that different vendors own and protect, CWPPs ensure uninterrupted protection. Some of the benefits CWPPs provide include:
Particularly with workloads in the cloud, it is essential to ensure protection with minimal impact on pre-existing systems and workflows. As the world of security continues to evolve, older security systems are no longer sufficient for protecting enterprises that use the cloud. Organizations must plan for workload protection across multiple cloud environments through CWPPs that can provide visibility and consolidation from a single console.
