What is Cloud Workload Protection ?
A cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) is a technology solution primarily used to secure server workloads in public cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) environments. CWPPs allow multiple public cloud providers and customers to ensure that workloads remain secure when passing through their domain.

Cloud Workload Protection involves ensuring the security of workloads that are transferred across different cloud environments. To ensure the proper functioning of cloud-based applications without introducing any security threats, the entire workload must be protected. The protection of cloud workloads and application services is substantially different from safeguarding applications on a desktop machine.
Cloud workload security and workload protection for app services are distinct from desktop application security. Therefore, businesses using private and public clouds need to focus on protecting themselves at the workload level, not just at the endpoint, to defend against cyber attacks.
A workload comprises all the resources and processes that support an application and its interactions. In the cloud, the workload encompasses the application, the data generated by it, or entered into it, and the network resources that support the connection between the user and the application. Protecting cloud workloads is a complex task because workloads may pass through multiple vendors and hosts, requiring shared responsibility for their protection.
TWO main approaches for protecting workloads with CWPP are micro-segmentation and bare metal hypervisors.
➛Micro-segmentation entails dividing the data center into separate security segments, which extend to the individual workload level, and implementing security measures for each segment through network virtualization technology.
➛Bare metal hypervisors establish virtual machines that are independent of each other, thereby preventing any problems in one virtual machine from impacting others.
Some CWPP solutions support hypervisor-enabled security layers that are specifically designed to protect cloud workloads.
