Assets and workloads are often distributed across multiple cloud providers and regions, creating visibility challenges for security teams. This can lead to blind spots where unmonitored resources are vulnerable to threats. Not only does this increase the risk of a data breach, but it also means malicious attackers can slip through your defenses undetected.

To solve this problem, CNAPPs provide unified, multi-cloud visibility. It consolidates monitoring across all environments into a single dashboard. This eliminates blind spots by continuously scanning for security issues and providing real-time insights. Moreover, CNAPP integrates with various cloud platforms, ensuring security teams have a complete line of sight into their entire cloud ecosystem, including workloads, configurations, and data flows.

Cloud security requires specialized skills. However, many organizations face a shortage of cybersecurity professionals with expertise in managing and securing cloud-native applications. 9 in 10 cloud app users?say they are moderate to extremely concerned about the industry-wide skills shortage.

Even worse, they rely on labor resources to manually apply security policies and controls. These workflows are time-consuming, prone to human error, and inefficient, especially in fast-paced DevOps environments.

Combined, these forces result in avoidable errors, like misconfigurations, leaving cloud environments vulnerable to attack. CNAPP addresses this by automating many security processes, such as configuration checks, threat detection, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement. This reduces manual intervention and allows security teams to focus on more strategic priorities.

Without CNAPP, organizations often rely on siloed tools for different aspects of cloud security. This fragmented approach increases complexity, leads to inefficiency, and makes it harder to enforce policies consistently across the cloud. Plus, disparate solutions often don¡¯t work well together, meaning threat intelligence doesn¡¯t flow smoothly between products.

CNAPP eliminates these silos by integrating all critical security functions into one platform, simplifying operations, and improving security effectiveness. A unified platform also reduces integration challenges and the operational overhead of managing separate tools.

Initially, organizations deployed their traditional on-premises security tools to help mitigate threats inside cloud software. The problem? These solutions introduced a new set of challenges. The security rules that powered these detection and response tools weren¡¯t aligned with the reality of dynamic cloud environments.

Broad rules could result in hundreds, possibly thousands, of daily alerts. However, narrow rules may lead to some threats slipping through the cracks and bypassing defenses. Without automated prioritization, teams could only guess which alerts were most important.

That¡¯s where CNAPPs come in. It uses intelligent alert correlation and risk-based prioritization to filter out false positives and surface the most critical issues. By analyzing the context of each alert (e.g., build vs. runtime) and correlating it with other indicators, CNAPPs reduce the noise and ensure that teams only focus on high-risk threats. This helps security teams avoid alert fatigue and respond to mission-critical incidents as quickly as possible.

Cloud-native applications go through continuous integration, and deployment cycles (CI/CD), meaning security risks can be introduced at multiple points. Without a platform that integrates security throughout the entire lifecycle ¡ª from development (build) to runtime (deployment) ¡ª insecure apps and misconfigurations can lead to major incidents.

Yet, it¡¯s also important that security friction doesn¡¯t slow down development. Sometimes, checks can become a bottleneck, increasing the time to market for cloud-native applications.

CNAPP supports?DevOps?methodologies and cloud-native strategies by shifting security left (early in development), ensuring security is part of the CI/CD pipeline without disrupting development speed. It scans code, infrastructure configurations, and container images for vulnerabilities before they are deployed to production.

Navigating regulatory requirements is a significant obstacle, especially in the cloud. Various regulations mandate strict security controls, but manually tracking compliance can be time-consuming and error-prone. Even worse, this increases the risk of failing an audit.

Some CNAPP solutions offer automated compliance management capabilities that continuously monitor cloud configurations against industry standards and regulatory frameworks. They provide real-time alerts for policy violations and generate audit-ready reports, helping organizations maintain compliance and avoid penalties.

A CNAPP can benefit and assist security teams with those primary tasks through:

• Simplify and strengthening cloud security: CNAPP integrates multiple security functions into one platform, reducing complexity and enhancing overall cloud security.
  
• Reduce costs: A CNAPP can help lower operational costs by reducing the need for multiple, fragmented, and sometimes redundant security tools.
• Correlate build and runtime insights: Critically, CNAPPs bridge the data gap between development and runtime environments, helping teams prioritize remediation efforts based on risk.
• Centralize multi-cloud management: Through a single pane of glass, CNAPPs provide a unified view of the security posture across multiple cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.).
• Detect zero-day threats: With advanced detection capabilities, CNAPPs can identify previously unknown vulnerabilities and attacks in-progress.
• Accelerate response: CNAPPs speed up threat detection and remediation through automation and real-time monitoring, allowing teams to act at a moment¡¯s notice.
• Shift left to reduce the attack surface: To secure DevOps, CNAPPs Integrate security controls into earlier stages of development, reducing the attack surface by detecting and addressing vulnerabilities before deployment.
