Sweet Security

Sweet Security is a cloud security platform focused on runtime protection for applications, workloads, infrastructure, and AI agents. Its Runtime CNAPP combines Cloud Detection and Response, Application Detection and Response, and Cloud Workload Protection, drawing on eBPF sensors and cloud logs. The platform also describes AI security spanning the model layer to agent execution, including an AI Gateway that analyzes agent traffic and policies that can block risky operations. Cloud posture features detect misconfigurations, prioritize risks, offer remediation guidance, and apply deployment guardrails. Incident storylines organize activity to help teams assess false positives and identify who should act; playbooks can guide manual or automatic termination of malicious processes. Sweet lists support for AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, private cloud, Kubernetes, Linux-based virtual machines, and Linux and Windows hosts. It is agent-based, with container, serverless, and Kubernetes protection. Automated checks can run against industry and custom compliance frameworks. Pricing is on request, and prospective customers are directed to request a demo.
