A. Challenge: Ephemeral nature makes traditional agent deployment difficult. XSIAM addresses this by requiring agents to be baked into container images and serverless runtimes.

B. Challenge: Lack of persistent file systems for log storage. XSIAM addresses this by automatically deploying dedicated persistent storage volumes for each serverless function and container.

C. Challenge: Dynamic scaling and short lifespans make consistent monitoring difficult. XSIAM addresses this by integrating directly with cloud provider APIs (e.g., CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Activity Logs) and leveraging specialized collectors for container runtime security (e.g., Cortex XDR for Containers).

D. Challenge: Increased network egress costs due to telemetry forwarding. XSIAM addresses this by compressing all telemetry data by 95% before ingestion.

E. Challenge: Inability to deploy traditional network-based sensors. XSIAM addresses this by performing agentless network scanning of the cloud environment.
