A Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) is a security solution designed to protect applications, workloads, and data running in cloud environments. It provides threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance enforcement across various cloud infrastructures, including public, private, and hybrid clouds. CWPPs safeguard workloads such as virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions by offering features like runtime protection, behavioral monitoring, and automated response to security incidents. These platforms help organizations maintain visibility and control over their cloud-based assets while ensuring they meet security and regulatory requirements.
