Sweet Security ships one-click virtual patching for cloud workloads

Sweet Security’s Virtual Patching blocks exploit attempts on running cloud and AI workloads until a permanent fix ships.

Sweet Security announced Virtual Patching, a catalog policy a team can push to every node running a selected vulnerable workload. The sensor blocks requests that attempt to exploit the issue while leaving normal traffic alone, and protection follows the workload as it scales or restarts. It covers running cloud and AI applications until engineering deploys a permanent fix, after which the policy is removed. The company’s Sweet Attack agent can suggest a policy when runtime context shows an exploitable path. The announcement names no specific vulnerabilities or customers using the feature.
