CloudPassage

CloudPassage is a cybersecurity vendor that provides automated security and compliance for workloads running in public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid infrastructure.

• Automated workload security and posture management for cloud and hybrid environments (cloud security)
• Continuous configuration assessment against security and compliance policies for servers and cloud resources (cloud compliance)
• Vulnerability and exposure visibility across dynamic, elastic infrastructure (vulnerability management)
• Integration with DevOps and cloud-native workflows through APIs and automation tooling (DevSecOps enablement)
• Centralized policy management and monitoring for distributed workloads across multiple environments (security operations)

More About CloudPassage

CloudPassage focuses on security controls for workloads that run in public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid data center environments, providing organizations with a consistent policy and monitoring layer across heterogeneous infrastructure. Its platform targets servers and cloud-native resources that may scale up and down or move between environments, which creates demand for automated security and compliance capabilities that are not tied to static network perimeters.

The company’s offerings align with categories such as cloud workload protection (cloud security), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) (cloud security), and automated compliance monitoring (cloud compliance). Capabilities typically include host-based security controls, security configuration assessment, file integrity monitoring, and policy-driven checks to verify that systems conform to internal and external requirements. These functions are used by Security Operations (SecOps) teams, infrastructure and cloud engineering groups, and DevSecOps organizations to maintain visibility over distributed workloads.

Architecturally, CloudPassage uses an agent-based model combined with centralized policy and analytics services. Agents deployed on workloads collect configuration and security data, enforce rules, and send telemetry to a central service where policies are defined and evaluated. This approach is intended to support dynamic, elastic environments where IP addresses and network locations change frequently, including autoscaling groups, container hosts, and virtual machines across multiple cloud providers or on-premises (on-prem) virtualization platforms.

CloudPassage integrates with common enterprise frameworks and processes such as Continuous Integration (CI) and continuous delivery pipelines, change management workflows, and audit and reporting programs associated with regulatory standards. Security and compliance checks can be embedded into build, deployment, and runtime stages, enabling teams to detect misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and policy drift as infrastructure changes. APIs and automation hooks allow organizations to connect the platform to ticketing systems, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools, and configuration management solutions.

From a marketplace taxonomy perspective, CloudPassage fits into cloud workload protection platforms (cloud security), CSPM (cloud security), and automated compliance solutions for infrastructure and workloads (cloud compliance). Enterprises use these capabilities to maintain a consolidated view of security posture across on-prem and cloud environments, to support audit readiness, and to standardize security controls while adopting cloud-native and DevOps operating models.
