- protected workload; billable unit
- Definition
- Understand license plans: "The fundamental metric for consumption is the protected workload. You must procure a license capacity sufficient to cover the total number of workloads you intend to secure."
- Counting rules
- Billable units per workload: 1 VM (with or without containers), 1 endpoint, 10 agent-protected managed containers (CaaS), 10 cloud buckets, 2 PaaS databases, 1 TB DBaaS stored, 10 SaaS users, 1 on-premises data connection, 4 unmanaged Cloud ASM assets; container image scans have a free quota of 10 per deployed workload. Usage is a 90-day average. Excess posture workloads spill over into unused runtime quota, never the reverse.
- Floors / minimums
- Annual subscription. Cortex XSIAM Premium Cloud Runtime Security: minimum 200 workloads (priced per workload); Cloud Posture Security includes up to 400 workloads depending on the plan (Cortex XSIAM license tiers).
