Cloud workload security (CWS) solutions are deployed to detect, mitigate, and prevent cloud misconfigurations, configuration drift, identity and privilege proliferations, and vulnerabilities in multiple workload types. While the CWS market is highly fragmented with a range of solutions, CWS solutions are increasingly a critical component to secure cloud workloads. In this report, we survey the top trends influencing the evolution of the CWS market and provide guidance on how security and risk (S&R) professionals can respond to those trends.
