To protect your workloads, you need to gain visibility inside of the virtual machines or containers themselves. This is often done by installing a monitoring agent into the workload. The approach is why we have limited runtime visibility to most Platform as a Service or serverless workloads as they are often multi-tenant and don't allow installation of agents.
