The 6 Essential Must-Haves: Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)

Added Feb 25, 2025

Summary

The rapid growth of cloud-native applications has popularized the use of cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs), which seek to unify cloud security with cloud scalability demands. However, the approach to consolidation that CNAPP helps deliver is not a guarantee of successful cloud security. To be successful when selecting a CNAPP solution, it's important to consider a few essential key attributes.

Six core must-haves of CNAPPS include:

  • Comprehensive Asset Visibility and Context
  • Integrated Threat Detection and Response
  • Compliance Management
  • AI-powered, Contextual Analysis
  • Shift-left Security
  • Continuous, Dynamic Scanning
