- Microsoft Defender for Cloud
Best for: Companies running mostly on Azure
Defender for Cloud earns a spot because it puts posture, compliance tracking, attack paths and workload protection for Azure, AWS and Google Cloud in one place, and Secure Score gives you an ordered list of fixes. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise estates. The protection plans are separate for servers, containers, databases, storage and APIs, so decide which ones you need before you compare it with the rest.

- Orca Security Platform
Best for: Teams running many clouds that want agentless coverage
It earns its place because it reaches more cloud providers than most picks here without installing anything, which suits companies with accounts spread across several clouds. Since the scanning is agentless, ask how it detects and stops attacks while workloads run, and how quickly new findings appear.
