A CWPP, otherwise known as a cloud workload protection platform, is an agent-based solution that helps address the unique requirements of server workload protection. A CWPP offers network segmentation, traffic visibility, and firewalling, anti-malware scanning and system integrity management, and application control, along with log management, monitoring, and much more. Some of the major benefits of a CWPP are that it scales easily, provides threat and data protection across the board, and leverages user workflows by synthesizing them into an ongoing continuum. The main differences between CSPM and CWPP are that CSPMs work to prevent software configuration vulnerabilities, while CWPPs perform security functions across a plethora of environments. In addition, while a CSPM is primarily used to identify vulnerable cloud configuration settings, CWPPs manage cloud vulnerabilities.
