How CNSF Protects Cloud Workloads

Cloud attackers don’t rely on a single exploit — they rely on paths.

Once inside, attackers move laterally between workloads, establish command-and-control through egress paths, and exfiltrate data through legitimate cloud services — often before detection tools generate an alert. These paths exist because most security architectures enforce at centralized inspection points, not at every workload. The paths that matter most are the ones that never reach a central firewall.

Aviatrix Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF) contains attacks by enforcing policy at every workload communication path — containing blast radius, blocking lateral movement, and cutting off egress before data leaves the environment.

Utilize the Network Layer

With CNSF, enterprises can:

  • Contain attack paths at runtime

    Gain visibility into east-west and egress workload communication and apply controls that limit lateral movement, unauthorized egress, and uncontrolled trust expansion.

  • Eliminate blind spots in workload-to-workload traffic

    Observe traffic across VPCs/VNets, regions, and cloud providers using cloud native telemetry — including paths that posture tools and point controls don’t model.

  • Secure modern and AI-driven workloads

    Understand how agents, services, and workloads communicate at runtime, and enforce policy to reduce the risk of misuse, over-privileged access, or unintended data flows.

  • Apply consistent Zero Trust controls without slowing teams

    Enforce segmentation, egress control, and encryption centrally across clouds — without agents, application changes, or developer friction.

See Your Attack Paths. Close the Gaps with CNSF.

Blast radius starts where your enforcement stops.

Most security architectures enforce at centralized inspection points. Attackers move between workloads on paths that never reach those points — building blast radius invisibly until detection tools fire, often too late.

The Executive Assistant That Broke the Company Why Shadow AI is the New Cloud Crisis card image

Your assessment delivers:

  • The Aviatrix Workload Attack Path Assessment (WAPA) analyzes real workload communication using cloud native telemetry to uncover attack paths already present in your environment — and shows how Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF) can break those paths with runtime enforcement.
