[Penta Pedia] What is CNAPP? And How to Secure Cloud Environments?
CNAPP: the All-in-One Cloud Security Platform for Modern Enterprises
Creation of CNAPP: How Did Gartner Define CNAPP?
As cloud adoption accelerates, businesses increasingly scale their applications with ease. However, this expansion also introduces a growing number of potential cyber attack surfaces. While many companies rely on multiple point security solutions to address these threats, they can find managing them complex and inefficient. As a result, more organizations are seeking integrated methods to secure their cloud-based applications while streamlining operations.
Consequently, global research firm Gartner advises, “Organizations should perceive security and compliance as a continuous spectrum throughout development and operations, and they should consolidate tools wherever possible”. This strategic need has led to the emergence of the Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP).
What is CNAPP?
CNAPP is a unified, tightly integrated platform designed to provide comprehensive security and compliance capabilities for cloud-native applications and infrastructure.
According to Gartner:
“Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) are a unified and tightly integrated set of security and compliance capabilities, designed to protect cloud-native infrastructure and applications.”
In other words, CNAPP reimagines how enterprises approach application security, shifting the focus toward cloud-native, all-in-one security solutions. Furthermore, by integrating multiple tools and features into a single software platform, CNAPP minimizes complexity.
To summarize: CNAPP enables organizations to efficiently protect their entire cloud application environment by consolidating fragmented security resources, thereby strengthening the organization’s overall cybersecurity posture.
Why is CNAPP Demand Rising?
Spike in cyberattacks, growing technological dependency, the expansion of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), and the rise of remote work environments is happening. As a result, CNAPP demand rise is caused.
Since the demand is rising, research firms forecast a promising future. For example:
- Markets and Markets predicts the CNAPP market will grow from $7.8 billion in 2022 to $19.3 billion by 2027, reflecting a CAGR of 19.9%.
- Zion Market Research estimates a CAGR of approximately 20%, with the market reaching $23.1 billion by 2030.
In conclusion, as cloud-native application adoption rises and digital transformation accelerates, enterprises are under increasing pressure from global regulatory bodies to enhance their cybersecurity frameworks.
