Cloud Workload Protection Testing: Securing VMs, Containers, and Serverless for Philippine Enterprises

Cloud workload protection testing evaluates security at the compute layer — whether workloads (VMs, containers, serverless functions) are properly hardened, monitored, and isolated. Testing covers: workload configuration hardening (unnecessary services, default credentials, excessive permissions), vulnerability management (patch levels, known CVEs), runtime protection (can a compromised workload affect others?), network micro-segmentation between workloads, secrets management (how are credentials delivered to workloads?), and logging and monitoring at the workload level.
