Understanding Cloud Workload Protection from Prisma Cloud

Unified Protection for Any Cloud-Native Architecture

Today’s cloud workloads and cloud-native applications are powered by a combination of virtual machines (VMs), containers, Kubernetes, containers as a service (CaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings, and serverless functions. But how can you secure it all? With Prisma Cloud’s agent-based and agentless protection, both of which are available within a single interface, giving teams flexible deployment options that fit each unique environment.

Security Integrated Across the Application Lifecycle

Prisma Cloud integrates cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) capabilities and Web App and API Security (WAAS) across the application lifecycle. This enables enterprises to integrate vulnerability management and compliance as part of continuous integration (CI) processes and continuous delivery (CD) workflows. It also enables them to continuously monitor container registries and serverless repositories, prioritize risk at runtime across hosts, containers, images, and serverless functions, and leverage an added layer of security for web applications and APIs.

Prisma Cloud modules delivering cloud workload protection include:

• Host Security: Secure VMs on any public or private cloud.
• Container Security: Secure Kubernetes and other container platforms on any public or private cloud.
• Serverless Security: Secure serverless functions across the full application lifecycle.
• Web Application and API Security: Protect against Layer 7 and OWASP Top 10 threats in any public or private cloud.

Prisma Cloud secures any cloud-native workload across build, deploy, and run.
