End-to-End Workload Security and Protection
From code to cloud; pre-build, CI/CD through registry and runtime, your cloud applications require multi-layer security and compliance management to secure infrastructure, the application code, APIs and the runtime workloads, including VMs, containers, and serverless functions. Too many niche security solutions can’t add up to effective security, and for security to work in the cloud it must facilitate DevOps agility. You need unified, automated workload protection to ensure that your whole cloud stack is secure throughout the development lifecycle.

CloudGuard provides the visibility and context that your security team needs, as well as prioritization for remediation so that business critical risks are addressed as the highest priority. CloudGuard provides end-to-end visibility that is comprehensive, contextual, and real-time, to ensure posture compliance against corporate policies and industry benchmarks. After establishing an application security baseline, CloudGuard alerts to anomalous system or user behavior, while intuitive visualizations make it easy to investigate incidents and assess risk.
CloudGuard is built from the ground up to ensure high fidelity posture management and continuous security scanning from code to cloud. From Shift Left, through build, registry and runtime, CloudGuard provides continuous vulnerability scanning and least-privilege-access control to ensure the security of applications, APIs, compute-storage-network resources, and workloads.
CloudGuard integrates with the organization’s existing stack to provide a single application security and workload protection command center. Easy to deploy, CloudGuard opens up scalability and collaboration bottlenecks by eliminating the need to juggle multiple tools and services. CloudGuard’s extensive partner ecosystem includes AWS, Azure, Slack, ServiceNow, Splunk, Kubernetes and all mainstream DevOps third party tools.
CloudGuard is truly environment- and workload-agnostic, giving DevOps teams full freedom to make infrastructure and architecture decisions knowing that those applications and workloads will always be secure and protected. CloudGuard enforces security and governance policies automatically for all types of ephemeral runtime workloads, from containers to serverless functions, VMs, and more with the deepest levels of coverage. In fact, CloudGuard is one of the only security providers to offer this depth of coverage across all cloud providers and every type of workload.
CloudGuard enforces security and governance policies automatically for all types of ephemeral runtime workloads, from microservices to containers and serverless functions from the very beginning of code creation. CloudGuard monitors elements in the CI/CD pipeline for vulnerabilities, as these elements are at the core of promoting rapid development cycles and self-service provisioning models. CloudGuard continuously scans container images, IaC templates, API schema, and serverless frameworks for security and governance issues that would otherwise be propagated to the applications and workloads that use them—empowering organizations to embrace a DevSecOps strategy.
