Types of cloud workload policies

Learn about cloud workload policy types and their use cases.

• Misconfiguration policies: Enables you to assess various workloads for misconfigurations against relevant security standards and your organization’s security guidelines. You can include both predefined and custom rules in these policies to either prevent violations or create issues for violations.
• Malware policies: Enable you to detect and manage malicious files within cloud workloads. These policies analyze files based on predefined parameters such as file name, path, size, and detection method.
• Secret policies: Enable you to identify and protect sensitive information—such as API keys and credentials—within workloads.
• Trusted Image policies: Enable you to ensure the authenticity, integrity, and security of container images and VMs deployed into your Kubernetes environments. This includes actions such as limiting allowed image sources, mitigating possible image tampering, and more.
