A security architect is designing a defense-in-depth strategy for a multi-cloud environment that includes VMs, containers, and serverless functions. The team has limited budget and must prioritize the most critical gaps. They have already deployed a CSPM that flags misconfigured storage and overly permissive IAM policies. Which additional technology should they prioritize next to address the most significant remaining risk?

Additional CSPM tools from each cloud provider

CWPP to provide runtime protection and vulnerability scanning for all workload types

CASB to monitor all cloud application usage

Network security tools to segment the cloud network

A company wants to protect its cloud network from unauthorized access by filtering traffic between subnets and blocking malicious IP addresses. Which technology should they use?

Network security tools (e.g., cloud firewalls)

What is the primary purpose of a Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)?

To manage user identities and access permissions in the cloud

To monitor cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations and compliance risks

To provide a secure gateway for users to access cloud applications

To secure cloud workloads such as VMs, containers, and serverless functions

What is the role of a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) in cloud security?

To manage user identities and access permissions

To enforce security policies between users and cloud applications

To monitor cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations

To protect cloud workloads from runtime threats

Which of the following is a type of workload that a Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) is designed to secure?

Identity and access management policies
