What Is Cloud Runtime Security? | Cortex Cloud

Cloud runtime security protects workloads, APIs and cloud environments against active attacks that posture management alone cannot stop. Learn how Cortex Cloud Runtime Security extends protection beyond CSPM to block threats at runtime, secure cloud APIs and accelerate cloud detection and response. In this video, you’ll learn: 00:20 Why cloud posture management isn’t enough 01:10 What cloud runtime security protects 01:45 Runtime protection for cloud workloads 02:15 API discovery and real-time protection 02:30 Cloud detection and response 02:40 How Cortex Cloud stops machine-speed attacks Cortex Cloud protects virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes clusters and serverless applications against malware, ransomware, exploits and zero-day threats. It also protects APIs against abuse, injection, data exposure and malicious bots while correlating cloud, identity, network and data telemetry for faster investigation and response.
