It becomes critical, for example, if the affected workload is accessible from the internet, has access to sensitive data and uses an identity with extensive permissions. Modern cloud security approaches therefore correlate vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, network paths, identities, data and threats. This allows security teams to prioritise dangerous attack paths instead of processing thousands of isolated findings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"ea-card  sp-ea-single\"  data-accordion-id= \"5\">\n\n\t\t<h3 class=\"ea-header\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"collapsed\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse201275\" href=\"#\" data-title=\"efaq-how-can-we-protect-cloud-workloads-and-containers-not-only-from-misconfigurations-but-also-from-active-attacks\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t<i class=\"ea-expand-icon fa ea-font-icon-plus_regular\"><\/i>  How can we protect cloud workloads and containers not only from misconfigurations, but also from active attacks?\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse spcollapse\" id=\"collapse201275\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-20127\">\n\t\t<div class=\"ea-body\"> \n<div class=\"ea-content-wrapper \"> \n\t<p>Posture management is only one part of a comprehensive cloud security strategy. Virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes environments and other cloud workloads must also be protected at runtime against suspicious behaviour, malware and attacks. Cloud Workload Protection and Runtime Security therefore complement preventive controls with detection and response. Combined with cloud context, this makes it easier to determine whether an exposed vulnerability is actually being exploited and to respond in a targeted way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_2'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-20117'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jgvw4l-785d1a727834de8a0eb2c78cc4a49672\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-jgvw4l-785d1a727834de8a0eb2c78cc4a49672{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jgvw4l-785d1a727834de8a0eb2c78cc4a49672 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-mini-hide'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"parent":20089,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20117","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20117"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20132,"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20117\/revisions\/20132"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.asecus.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
