Explanation

Cloud Workload Protection (CWP) is the pillar specifically designed to secure workloads across both public and private cloud environments, and it uniquely supports both agentless scanning (for broad, frictionless visibility) and agent-based protection (for deep runtime defense) - making it the only pillar that fits all three criteria in the question.

• A (Cloud Network Security) is wrong because it focuses on network traffic analysis, micro-segmentation, and firewall policies - not workload scanning methods.
• B (Cloud Security Posture Management / CSPM) is wrong because it handles misconfiguration detection and compliance across cloud configurations, not workload-level protection.
• C (Cloud Identity Security) is wrong because it deals with IAM risks, over-privileged identities, and credential threats - not workload deployment models.

Memory tip: Think "Workloads need Wide coverage" - CWP covers Where (public + private), What kind (containers, VMs, serverless), and Which method (agentless or agent). The word "workload" in the answer directly mirrors "workload" in the question stem.
