About Workload Hardening

As part of Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP), Skyhigh CASB helps IT and SOC administrators to periodically assess hardening benchmarks for cloud workloads, so that they continue to meet all compliance requirements.

Workload hardening involves making changes to secure the system, such as keeping installed software up-to-date, securing the file system, remediating network misconfigurations, and more. 

Skyhigh CASB supports the "CIS Distribution Independent Linux benchmark" for workload hardening. As of version 5.2.1 it supports Linux-based workloads only.

Prerequisites

Before you can create a Workload Hardening scan for VMs, you must install Skyhigh Security Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) POPs and CWPP Agents on the endpoints. The agents discover applications on the endpoints and send this data to Skyhigh CASB to build the app inventory. Currently, only Linux-based workloads are supported.
