Buyer’s Guide: Securing Egress Traffic from Workloads in the Public Cloud

Organizations rapidly adopting cloud workloads face expanding attack surfaces, increasing risks from misconfigurations, weak visibility, and legacy security models. Ensuring secure egress traffic from IaaS and PaaS workloads is essential to prevent data loss, stop external and internal threats, and maintain compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

• Legacy on-premises tools create performance, cost, and visibility challenges when securing cloud egress traffic, especially at scale.
• Modern cloud security requires centralized TLS inspection, advanced threat protection, inline DLP, and granular segmentation across workloads and clouds.
• Effective solutions must support multi-cloud coverage, workload identity policies, autoscaling, infrastructure-as-code, and unified management.

A modern zero-trust, cloud-native security architecture enables organizations to protect workloads, control outbound traffic, inspect encrypted data, and mitigate threats across diverse cloud environments. Centralized visibility and simplified deployment help teams maintain strong security while supporting rapid cloud growth.
