Contain Every Workload at Runtime
Zero trust cloud workload protection protecting every connection between workloads: VMs, containers, Kubernetes, serverless.
Unified Containment Requires a New Architecture
Most zero trust implementations focus on user access and stop at the perimeter; once inside the cloud, workloads talk freely. Cloud providers offer their own firewalls and policies, but none provides consistent visibility or control across clouds.
Blind spots
Workload-to-workload traffic is invisible. Posture tools see configurations but not live runtime flows.
Encryption fails
Zero trust fails without runtime encryption. Once inside the cloud, traffic is infrequently or inconsistently encrypted.
Ephemeral workloads
Kubernetes and serverless workloads spin up dynamically, bypassing static, perimeter-based controls.

Distributed Cloud Firewall
User-Centric Zero Trust and Cloud Security Posture are necessary.
The attack model changed. Threats arrive as trusted code, running inside your infrastructure. The only question that matters: can the workload reach the attacker's endpoint? That question is answered by Workload-Centric Zero Trust.
Zero Trust Enforcement for Every Workload Across Every Cloud
Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads
Bring visibility, inline control, and audit-ready proof to the parts of the cloud where traditional tools can’t reach. Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads, part of the Aviatrix Cloud Native Security Fabric™(CNSF), delivers runtime zero trust enforcement across cloud-native workloads—VMs, containers, and serverless—preventing lateral movement and data exfiltration.
Accelerate zero trust
Advance zero trust beyond user access to meet CISA ZTMM 2.0 Network and Data pillars.
Create consistency
Leverage a unified fabric across a multicloud—AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI—environment.
Show continuous compliance
Produce audit-ready evidence aligned with HIPAA 2025, PCI DSS 4.0, NIS2, and DORA.
Inline Security —Without Redesign
Aviatrix Zero Trust for Workloads secures workload-to-workload and workload-to-internet traffic in real time. And it is deployed transparently within existing cloud architectures, without network redesign or application disruption.

Breach Containment
Inline threat prevention
Stop exploit traffic, malware, and unauthorized communication in real time with distributed inspection.
Granular egress control
Enforce outbound policy with selective NAT, domain, and geo filtering; prevent data exfiltration with dynamic intelligence.
Multicloud enforcement
Apply consistent zero trust policies, logging, and compliance visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI—all managed from a single control plane.
High-performance encryption
Encrypt all cloud workload traffic (workload-to-workload, north-south, and cloud-to-cloud) at line-rate speeds without hardware or agents.
Impact containment
Contain lateral movement, reduce blast radius, and block data exfiltration while continuously enforcing regulatory and standards compliance.
Workload-to-Internet: Secure Egress and Prevent Data Exfiltration
Inline egress governance delivered directly at the workload boundary enables you to prevent data loss and unauthorized egress; verify, log, and policy-enforce all traffic; and get audit-ready telemetry for zero trust and compliance validation.
Distributed Cloud Firewall
Inspects every outbound flow in real time, applying domain- and geo-based filtering to block unapproved destinations.
Runtime Threat Prevention
Identifies exploit traffic, malware, and command-and-control communication.
CoPilot Telemetry
Provides continuous visibility and proof of compliance.
Workload-to-Workload and Workload-to-Data: Govern Workload-to-Workload Communication
Enable visibility and deliver continuous zero trust enforcement across clusters and clouds to stop blast radius and privilege escalation and protect workload-to-database and service-to-service communication.
Identity-Aware Policies
Enforce runtime workload-to-workload segmentation between workloads and data tiers.
SmartGroups
Dynamically map metadata, tags, and namespaces to enforce least-privilege communication.
Inline Enforcement
Validate every connection for policy compliance.
Workload Communication Governance: Contain the breach, reduce the blast radius
Contain breaches with zero trust communication governance across clouds. Reduce the blast radius, enforce least-privilege access, and deliver continuous, verifiable segmentation evidence for audits.
Communication Governance
Isolates workloads by trust zone, region, or namespace.
Identity-Driven
Policies follow workload identity and cloud metadata, not IP addresses.
Dynamic
Adapts as workloads scale or move across hybrid and multicloud environments.
Unified Platform
As part of CNSF, Zero Trust for Networking integrates seamlessly with Zero Trust for Workloads to unify encryption, compliance, and simplicity across clouds and data center edges. Built on High-Performance Encryption (HPE), it secures the fabric itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Those tools stop at VPC boundaries and differ per cloud. Aviatrix unifies enforcement and visibility across clouds and runtime workloads.
A CNAPP, like [Wiz](https://aviatrix.ai/partners/wiz/), shows misconfigurations, while Aviatrix stops active threats and blast radius in real time.
Mesh controls app-layer identity, while Aviatrix controls network-layer zero trust and cross-cluster egress.
No—Aviatrix deploys inline with existing topology, preserving routes and IP space.
Enforcement runs at line rate through distributed gateways so there is no app-visible impact.
