Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday! As we wind down & head into the New Year, we wanted to keep the โ๏ธ ๐ education coming!
Today's ๐งต is on the importance of adopting cloud native application protection platforms (#CNAPP) as part of your #cloudsecurity strategy!
First, let's discuss why companies may need new strategies for securing the โ๏ธ
a. Increased complexity due to multi-hybrid cloud
b. Iaas/PaaS/SaaS architecture complexity & variety
c. Containers, serverless and other forms of cloud-native architectures are exploding
So what is CNAPP?
Gartner Defines CNAPP as: an integrated set of security and compliance capabilities designed to help secure and protect cloud-native applications across development and production. CNAPPs consolidate a large number of previously siloed capabilities.
What are the feature capabilities of a CNAPP?
These consolidated feature capabilities often include container scanning, cloud security posture management (#CSPM), infrastructure as code scanning (#IaC), and runtime cloud workload protection platforms (#CWPP).
Now the benefits:
Consolidated security management of new cloud-native architectures -
Containers, serverless, hyperscaling resources all require technology specific solutions to securing these new attack vectors. CNAPP consolidates sec tools necessary to secure these envs.
Enhanced visibility & observability -
CNAPP can provide orgs with greater visibility, by giving them the ability to monitor and analyze activity in real-time, and by enabling them to set and enforce security policies. This can help orgs detect & respond to potential threats.
Improve continuous compliance -
Many orgs are required to comply with various regulations and standards when it comes to data protection & security. CNAPP can help orgs meet these reqs by providing a range of security controls & features that support continuous compliance.
Enhanced scalability and performance -
CNAPP are designed to be scalable & performant, and can help orgs ensure that their security measures do not negatively impact the performance of their cloud-native applications. They can read encrypted traffic w/o intrusive processes.
