Worried About Attacks During Runtime?

Runtime security protects cloud applications in production by guarding against exploits and attacks in real time during execution. It’s the last line of defense for cloud workloads operating in public and private clouds, and hybrid environments.

The main types are host-based and application-based runtime security including:

1. Container Runtime Security – Secures the container runtime environment and infrastructure that containers run on top of. Very critical for fortifying containers.
2. Kubernetes Runtime Security – Ensures pods and services are configured correctly. Focuses on securing the Kubernetes container orchestration runtime environment.
3. Cloud-Native Application Runtime Security – Secures cloud-native applications while running, through policies, encryption, monitoring, and other controls. Deals with dynamic cloud environments.

Use least privilege access, enable anomaly detection, monitor service accounts activity, implement runtime application self-protection checks, turn on API security, enable runtime encryption, integrate with a CWPP, and automate policy enforcement.

CWPP provides unified security across build, deploy and runtime stages. Runtime security is a key component of a modern CWPP to protect production workloads across public, private, and hybrid clouds.

• Hardening host OS
• Securing identities
• Enabling logging
• Masking data
• Micro segmentation rules
• Vulnerability management
• Firewall policies
• Integrating runtime security into CI/CD pipelines.
