Frost Radar™: Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP), 2023
This report examines the CWPP market and highlights the increasing demand for runtime protection of cloud workloads such as virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes, and serverless environments. It explains that CWPP solutions focus on detecting and preventing threats during execution while also supporting vulnerability management, micro-segmentation, and incident response. The report notes that organizations are shifting toward integrated platforms, combining CWPP with CSPM, CIEM, and DevSecOps tools to address growing cloud complexity. It also emphasizes the importance of shift-left security and runtime visibility for mitigating risks across the software lifecycle. The key takeaway is that CWPP is a foundational component of cloud security, but its full value is realized when integrated
