- These policies help secure workloads by reducing attack surface through block-based recommendations.
- Auto recommendations to the cluster and customizable.
- All violations blocked with inline mitigation approach.
- Tweak and create customized policies is also possible
Network Micro Segmentation
- Helps discover the application behavior of the workloads running in the public cloud, private cloud, or on-prem in VMs/BareMetal or local Kubernetes orchestrated or unorchestrated pure containerized cluster.
- Auto-detects and recommends Behavioral policies based on app observability.

Zero Trust
Top Use Cases in Workload Security
Auto discovered Zero Trust policy
Automatically Generated Hardening Policies Based on Standard Compliance Framework. Our system has the capability to suggest hardening policies based on common compliance frameworks such as MITRE, NIST, PCI-DSS, and CIS.
Custom Zero Trust policy

Inline Remediation
Ensuring Application Uptime and Zero Trust Posture with Inline Remediation, With a robust, declarative policy in place, it’s possible to execute inline remediation against runtime attacks like APT vulnerability and log4j. This approach helps to maintain the uptime and zero trust posture of your applications, ensuring their continued protection.
Network Micro Segmentation
Isolating Workloads and Restricting Traffic to Prevent Malicious Lateral Movements is simplified. To prevent malicious lateral movements, it is important to have the ability to isolate workloads and restrict traffic.

CWPP Platform: Complete Guide
Guide Topics
Protect your cloud workloads—whether running in containers, virtual machines, or serverless environments—with AccuKnox Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP). Gain deep runtime visibility, detect threats, and enforce Zero Trust policies across your dynamic cloud-native infrastructure.
What is CWPP?
A Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) is designed to safeguard workloads running in cloud environments, regardless of the underlying technology. This includes containers, VMs, and serverless functions. CWPP focuses on runtime threat detection, vulnerability management, and enforcing security policies at the workload level.
As cloud-native apps evolve rapidly, traditional security tools fall short of protecting ephemeral workloads. CWPPs like AccuKnox provide continuous protection that adapts to the scale and complexity of modern cloud environments.
Why CWPP Matters Today
Cloud workloads are increasingly distributed and transient, making them prime targets for advanced threats:
- Sophisticated runtime attacks such as process injection and privilege escalation
- Misconfigurations leading to unauthorised access
- Vulnerability exploitation in container images or serverless code
- Difficulty tracking workload activity across multi-cloud and hybrid deployments
AccuKnox CWPP closes these gaps by offering real-time visibility, Zero Trust enforcement, and automated threat prevention.
AccuKnox CWPP: Key Capabilities
✅ Runtime Threat Detection
Monitor workload behaviour in real time to detect suspicious processes, network activity, and file operations.
✅ Zero Trust Policy Enforcement
Leverage eBPF-based controls to enforce least-privilege access and isolate workloads effectively.
✅ Vulnerability and Configuration Scanning
Identify vulnerabilities in container images and workloads before deployment and continuously during runtime.
✅ Incident Response and Forensics
Get detailed insights and audit trails to investigate and respond to security incidents quickly.
✅ Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Support
Protect workloads running anywhere—public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises.

FAQ
AccuKnox CWPP provides micro segmentation at the lowest possible granularity level which is also the smallest execution unit in Kubernetes i.e. pods.
Our CWPP solution helps you to identify process execution requests from the pods, network connections the pods are trying to make internally or externally, and the system the pods are accessing.
By observing the behavior of a particular pod and restricting that behavior so that it functions according to the expected flow of process/events/traffic, one can develop a least permissive security posture by creating whitelisting policies and auditing/denying everything else.
KubeArmor is a security solution for Kubernetes and cloud native applications that help protect your workloads from attacks and threats.
By providing a set of hardening policies that are based on industry leading compliance and attack frameworks such as CIS, MITRE, NIST-800-53, STIGs, and 30+ compliances.
These policies are designed to help you secure your workloads in a way that is compliant with these frameworks and recommended best practices.
Accuknox CWPP solution provides a Discovery Engine agent that assesses the security posture of your workloads and auto discovers the policy set required to put the workload in least permissive mode.
Our CWPP tool also provides a Shared Informer Agent which collects information about clusters like pods, nodes, namespaces, etc.
The Policy Discovery Engine discovers the policies using the workload and cluster information that is relayed by the Shared Informer Agent.
AccuKnox supports
- SaaS, PaaS, IaaS
- AWS, GCP, Azure
- Kubernetes – fully supported; refer to supported distributions
- Serverless – Fargate and ECS supported
With AccuKnox, you can set up monitoring for assets or groups of assets to get alerts for changes observed in their metadata (software version, etc.)
Our Drift detection capability is inherently monitoring the compliance checks (pass/fail) that have changed between scans.
We collect alerts and telemetry generated by KubeArmor and Cilium. These alerts are part of our CWPP offering. These alerts are generated for the events that have violated/complied with a policy.
For these alerts, notifications can be enabled as well through channels like Slack, email, etc.
