Modern cloud security is not just about CWPP. We also need to take care of cloud misconfigurations (CSPM), IAM/RAM excessive privileges (CIEM) and several other factors. Security Center has limited support for these functions compared to its competitors. Also, they mainly support Chinese cloud platforms such as Huawei, Tencent and Byteplus. They seem to have a plan for expanding its support to other global cloud platforms, but may need some time. Not to mention that some of the latest CNAPP solutions from other vendors use agentless technology. This reduces resource usage on instances compared to agent solutions like Security Center.
