Cloud security tools protect workloads, data, and infrastructure running in public cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This category covers cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection platforms (CWPP), cloud access security brokers (CASB), and cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP). As organizations migrate more workloads to the cloud, these tools are critical for maintaining visibility, enforcing policies, and preventing misconfigurations that lead to breaches.
