The Role of Runtime Security in Cloud Environments

This report discusses the importance of runtime security in cloud-native environments and promotes Wiz’s hybrid approach that combines agentless visibility with a lightweight eBPF-based sensor to deliver real-time threat detection, forensics, automated response, and compliance across containers, serverless, and VMs. It contrasts this with legacy agent-based methods, emphasizing scalability, performance, and operational simplicity, and outlines benefits for CloudSec and SecOps teams such as workload protection, file integrity monitoring, anomaly detection, and streamlined incident response.
