Enterprise CWPP needs often include scale, complex IAM, global monitoring, integrations, and mature governance. CWPPs are foundational for large organizations running diverse workloads (VMs, containers, serverless). We’re currently exploring:
- Wiz – for large-scale visibility and risk prioritization.
- Sysdig Secure – for enterprise-grade runtime protection in cloud-native stacks.
- CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security – for enterprise detection/response pedigree extended to cloud workloads.
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud – for scale in Azure-heavy enterprise environments.
- Which CWPPs handle high-volume enterprise workloads best?
- Any challenges with deployment, governance, or cross-team workflows?
Which of these tools would you best recommend?
What enterprise features stand out most (automation, integrations, RBAC depth, global tenancy)?
Multi-cloud adds complexity fast — CWPPs need consistent controls, unified visibility, and cross-cloud threat detection. CWPPs are explicitly designed to secure workloads across hybrid and multi-cloud setups.We’re currently exploring:
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud – for multi-cloud workload management tied into the Azure Stack.
- Check Point CloudGuard CNAPP – for consistent policy control across clouds.
- Lacework FortiCNAPP – for multi-cloud behavioral insights.
- Google Cloud Platform Security Overview – as a baseline for native GCP workload protections.
- Any friction around policy parity across AWS/Azure/GCP?
- What’s most valuable: unified dashboards, centralized policy, or cross-cloud detections?
