- CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security
Best for: Teams wanting agent and agentless cloud protection
It makes the list because it pairs agentless posture checks with an agent that protects running workloads, so you get both sides of the agentless versus agent choice in one product. The 24/7 managed detection suits a team that cannot watch cloud alerts around the clock. Weigh the rollout, because runtime protection only covers the workloads where the agent is installed.

- SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security
Best for: Teams wanting runtime workload protection plus posture
Singularity Cloud Security is here because it covers both posture and runtime, with agentless scans for visibility and real-time protection on the workloads themselves. That suits a SOC that wants cloud, endpoint and identity data side by side when it investigates. Ask how much investigation work Purple AI and the no-code workflows will really take off your team.
