Essential Components of a Cloud Runtime Protection Strategy

The report explains how to secure cloud environments at runtime by combining agent-based telemetry (e.g., kernel/eBPF visibility for real-time detection and blocking) with agentless insights (cloud APIs and posture) to improve cross-domain detection and response. Citing increased cloud intrusions, it advocates a hybrid CDR strategy that correlates runtime signals with cloud context, illustrated by a hypothetical CI/CD compromise deploying a cryptominer that agent-based sensors detect and stop while agentless data guides broader remediation.
