Stronger Cloud Security In Five: How To Protect Your Cloud Workloads
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025
In the first installment of Tenable's 'Stronger Cloud Security in Five' blog series, we covered cloud security posture management (CSPM), which focuses on protecting your multi-cloud infrastructure by detecting misconfigurations.
Today, we turn to securing cloud workloads, which are the applications and services - along with all the resources they need to function - that run within your multi-cloud infrastructure.
Because cloud environments are dynamic, distributed and multi-layered, securing cloud workloads is challenging, as their security posture can quickly shift. The variety of workloads - virtual machines, container images, databases, serverless functions, and more - adds to the complexity.
Also complicating matters: The deployment of cloud workloads on more than one cloud service provider (CSP), which requires that security teams protect workloads in multi-cloud environments.
