Cloud Threat Defense Platform (CTDP)
Cloud Threat Defense Platform (CTDP)
A Cloud Threat Defense Platform (CTDP) a cybersecurity solution designed to protect cloud-based workloads such as virtual machines (VMs), containers, Kubernetes, serverless functions, and bare-metal servers. It ensures security, compliance, and threat prevention across multi-cloud and hybrid environments.
Key Features of CTDP
Runtime Protection
- Monitors workloads in real-time to detect & block anomalies
- Identifies malicious processes, unauthorized changes, and intrusions.
Vulnerability Management
- Scans workloads, images, and hosts for vulnerabilities before & after deployment.
- Helps patch security flaws to prevent exploitation.
Compliance for Workloads
- Ensures adherence to standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
- Checks configurations & permissions for security best practices.
Container & Kubernetes Security
- Secures containers throughout the CI/CD pipeline.
- Audits Kubernetes configurations to prevent misconfigurations.
Host Security
- Provides file integrity monitoring, anti-malware, and exploit prevention.
- Protects VMs and bare-metal servers against advanced threats.
Integration with CI/CD Pipelines
- Scans code & images to detect security issues before deployment.
- Embeds security into DevOps workflows.
Micro-Segmentation
- Restricts access between cloud workloads to minimize attack surfaces.
- Prevents lateral movement in case of a breach.
Why CTDP is Important?
- Traditional security methods are not enough for cloud environments.
- CTDP offers centralized security visibility & threat protection.
- Reduces security risks in hybrid & multi-cloud deployments.
- Ensures compliance with industry regulations.
