WHAT IS A CLOUD WORKLOAD PROTECTION PLATFORM (CWPP)?


CLOUD SECURITY ALPHABET SOUP: MAKING SENSE OF A CROWDED SECURITY MARKET

 * Published by Dale Norris on August 2, 2022

Part 1 of a series on cloud workload protection platforms, or CWPPs: Choosing
the right solution for securing your cloud and hybrid environments can be
complicated. The market is an alphabet soup of acronyms, and it's hard to tell
what you'll get from one product to the next or from one vendor to another. That
complexity can lead to gaps, confusion, tool sprawl, and weakened defenses. 

To help you make sense of the current tooling landscape, we're going to dig into
individual product categories, explaining what they are, what they do, and their
strengths and weaknesses. We'll also compare cloud-native network detection and
response (NDR) to those products and show you where NDR provides similar or
complementary capabilities.


WHAT IS A CLOUD WORKLOAD PROTECTION PLATFORM (CWPP)?

The answer to that question is right there in the tool's name: CWPPs were
designed to protect cloud workloads from attacks. CWPPs check for
vulnerabilities in static code, perform system hardening, and identify workload
misconfiguration, all of which can help to reduce security risk. Use cases can
include system file integrity monitoring, application whitelisting, host-based
firewalling, patching and configuration management, anti-malware scanning, and
endpoint threat detection and response.


HOW DO CWPPS WORK?

Typically, CWPPs are agent-based tools that typically use a combination of
tactics to secure cloud workloads, including network segmentation, system
integrity protection, host-based intrusion prevention and detection, and
anti-malware capabilities. Although they provide security at a workload level,
CWPPs do not offer coverage at the data or application layer. When defending
containers, CWPP tools exclude runtime security, a crucial component of advanced
threat detection and response.

HOW DOES NDR COMPARE TO CWPP?

Network detection and response (NDR) tools take a network-based approach to
securing cloud workloads, including containers. Every workload uses the network
to communicate, making network data the ultimate source of truth for
cloud-focused security analysts, incident responders, and forensic
investigators. Although network-based tools have been used for on-premises
security for years, in the past it was often difficult to gather network data in
cloud environments. With the introduction of network taps from major cloud
service providers (CSPs) as well as third-party packet brokers, much of the
friction and complexity previously associated with NDR in the cloud has been
removed. And, unlike log- and agent-based data, network data can't be turned off
or modified.

While NDR and CWPP share some capabilities, there are also major differences.
CWPPs do a good job of securing compute instances and monitoring risk, and many
support multiple IaaS providers and other cloud environments, but they are not
built to monitor and analyze all network traffic flowing within your cloud
environment. Additionally, NDR solutions offer decryption and runtime security,
things most CWPP tools lack. Finally, NDR platforms can provide security at the
data and application layers, a major differentiator between them and CWPP tools.


NDR AND CWPP: BETTER TOGETHER

Although NDR and CWPP can be viewed as competing security categories, they can
also play well together. NDR products excel at visibility and threat detection
inside the perimeter, which allows security teams to investigate and respond to
advanced threats that make it past CWPP tools. NDR tools can also detect and
alert on lateral movement and supply chain attacks that evade CWPP tools. This
defense-in-depth strategy only makes cloud environments more secure. And with
best-in-class NDR solutions, it's possible to combine on-premises and multicloud
security together in the same user interface, enhancing advanced threat defense
in hybrid environments.
