CLOUD SECURITY
Protect Every Workload You Run in the Cloud
Cloud environments give organizations the scale and flexibility to move faster—but they also introduce new security exposures across workloads, configurations, identities, and data. Netrust helps organizations strengthen cloud security with continuous visibility, workload protection, and controls that adapt as cloud environments evolve.
01
Cloud Workload Protection Platform
Protect Workloads Without Losing Visibility or Control
Cloud workloads are where applications, services,and business processes run—and where security gaps can quickly become operational risks.
A Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) helps security teams monitor and protect virtual machines,containers, applications, and cloud services across their environments, giving them greater visibility into workload activity and the ability to detect and respond to threats.
HOW IT WORKS
From Workload Activity to Contained Threat
CWPP continuously observes activity across cloud workloads, analyzes behavior for signs of compromise, and enables security teams to respond before threats spread.
01
Collect
See what is happening inside your workloads.
Collect system behavior, user activity, network traffic, and other workload telemetry.
02
Analyze
Separate normal activity from potential threats.
Analyze workload behavior and activity to identify anomalies and suspicious patterns.
03
Detect
Surface activity that requires attention.
Identify indicators of compromise, unexpected behavior, vulnerabilities, and other security risks.
04
Respond
Take action when a threat emerges.
Alert security teams or trigger defined actions such as blocking activity or restricting access.
05
Contain
Limit the impact before a threat spreads.
Isolate affected workloads and contain malicious activity to reduce disruption and potential damage.
CORE CAPABILITIES
What CWPP Brings Into Your Cloud Environment
01
Continuous Monitoring
Maintain visibility across cloud workloads.
Monitor workload activity continuously to identify suspicious behavior and emerging risks.
02
Real-Time Threat Detection
Identify threats as they develop.
Detect malicious activity and abnormal workload behavior in real time.
03
Vulnerability Visibility
Know where exploitable weaknesses exist.
Identify vulnerabilities across workloads before attackers can take advantage of them.
04
Integrity Tracking
Detect changes that shouldn't be happening.
Monitor critical files and system components for unauthorized modification or tampering.
05
Behavior Analysis
Understand how workloads normally operate.
Analyze user and system behavior to identify deviations that may indicate compromise.
06
Multi-Cloud Coverage
Maintain security visibility across cloud environments.
Protect workloads across multiple cloud platforms without managing each environment in isolation.
02
Components & Deployment
Build the Right Protection Model for Your Environment
Effective workload protection depends on more than the security platform itself. Data collection, centralized visibility, analytics, and policy controls work together to give teams the depth of protection they need.
COMPONENTS OF CWPP
The Four Building Blocks
01
Agent or Sensor
Capture workload-level visibility.
Collect detailed activity and security telemetry directly from protected workloads.
02
Central Management Console
Bring cloud securitiy into one operational view.
Monitor workloads, review alerts, and manage security policies from a centralized interface.
03
Analytics Engine
Turn workload activity into security insight.
Analyze collected data to identify anomalies, threats, and indicators of compromise.
04
Policy Management
Apply security requirements consistently.
Define and enforce controls for access, monitoring, protection, and compliance.
DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
Three Ways to Deploy
The right deployment model depends on your workload architecture, visibility requirements, and operational constraints.
01
Agent-Based Deployment
Deploy agents directly on workloads to provide detailed monitoring, stronger workload-level visibility, and greater control.
→
02
Agentless Deployment
Use cloud-native capabilities to monitor workloads without installing agents, enabling faster deployment across supported environments.
→
03
Hybrid Deployment
Combines agent-based protection where deepervisibility matters with agentless coverage where speed and operational simplicity are priorities. both methods to balance visibility and ease of deployment.

IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES
Build Cloud Workload Protection Around Your Environment
CWPP works best when protection starts with understanding what runs in the cloud, where exposure exists, and how security controls fit into existing operations.
01
Understand Your Cloud Environment
Know what needs protection.
Identify workloads, services, dependencies, and critical systems across your cloud environments.
02
Match Protection to Risk
Choose controls based on visibility and security requirements.
Determine where agent-based, agentless, or hybrid protection provides the right balance of depth and operational effort.
03
Define Security Policies
Set clear expectations for workload security.
Establish requirements for access, monitoring, vulnerability management, integrity, and compliance.
04
Maintain Continuous Visibility
Don't let cloud security become a point-in-time exercise.
Continuously monitor workloads for vulnerabilities, configuration changes, suspicious behavior, and emerging threats.
05
Connectthe Security Ecosystem
Make cloud protectionpart of the broader security operation.
Integrate CWPP with SIEM, EDR, SOAR, identity, and other security controls to improve detection and response.
06
Adapt as the Environment Changes
Keep protection aligned with the cloud.

KNOW BEFORE YOU PROTECT
Visibility Comes Before Control
Understand your workloads, choose the right protection model, establish security policies, and continuously monitor what changes.
WHY IT MATTERS
Secure the Workloads That Keep the Business Running
Cloud workloads increasingly support theapplications, services, and operations organizations depend on. As cloud environments become more distributed and dynamic, security needs to provide continuous visibility and control—not just point-in-time protection.
Netrust helps organizations protect workloads across their cloud environments, detect threats earlier, and strengthen resilience without losing the flexibility that makes cloud valuable.
