With changing CD, security concerns are elevated. A new threat ecosystem is in the making, and application developers are constantly looking to mitigate the risk and reduce the blast radius of security breaches. They must also transform how they implement security across their cloud-native stack. On top of this, more rapid releases and the adoption of a next-generation cloud-native approach with tools and platforms that enable applications to be built in hybrid environments have overwhelmed developers. To successfully implement cloud-native application security, enterprises should use an integrated platform approach—in Gartner’s research referred to as cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs). CNAPPs are an integrated set of security and compliance capabilities designed to support, secure, and protect cloud-native applications across development and production.
