With the increased reliance on these applications comes the need for robust security measures to protect them from potential threats.
Your CNAPP platform should provide all stakeholders with a centralized view of application security health that is comprehensive, contextual and real time.
Don't choose any solution that doesn't let you uphold a zero trust security strategy.
The platform must automate time consuming, tedious and error prone manual application security processes.
You need to be able to automatically and dynamically enforce corporate security controls and industry best practices, as well as detect, alert to, and, where possible, remediate security misconfigurations.
Workload architecture agnostic, so it can work with all of today's modern architectures including, microservices, containers and serverless functions, enforcing security and governance policies automatically for all types of ephemeral runtime workloads.
Pipeline security to help you develop more quickly and securely by providing scanning templates, scripts and images for security gaps before vulnerabilities can be propagated to all the application or runtime environments that use the pipeline.
A shift-left culture facilitates continuous feedback, so the application security and workload protection can be tweaked and optimized over time.
Effective risk management using contextual AI to provide actionable recommendations, will allow you to prioritize the numerous alerts deriving from unconnected cloud security tools.
These include the ability to monitor and regulate both cloud security posture and applications.
Cloud Security Posture Management - CSPM is an indispensable aspect of any CNAPP solution, offering automated governance across numerous cloud assets and services.
It identifies misconfigurations, enforces security best practices, adheres to compliance frameworks, and assesses overall security posture.
CSNS allows businesses to attain the same level of security monitoring and threat prevention found in their on-premises environment, utilizing cloud network security and zero-trust network segmentation for total corporate cybersecurity and regulatory compliance.
AI-Based Application Security - AI-Based AppSec offers precise threat prevention, replacing legacy Web Application Firewalls with automation and intelligence.
Cloud Workload Protection - Security can be an afterthought when constructing and deploying applications, making vulnerabilities and security breaches a frequent occurrence.
Pipeline Security - The method of constructing code has shifted from creating applications from scratch to assembling them from various open-source components, libraries, and APIs.
Pipeline security simplifies building in static application security testing for source code and infrastructure-as-code scanning.
You're not just passing the buck, but actually doing security better from the start.
CSPM, CSNS, AI-based AppSec, cloud workload protection, and pipeline security offer businesses the ability to create a comprehensive security strategy to safeguard their development and production environments effectively.
CloudGuard is a leading provider of Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms that take cloud security to the next level, incorporating advanced features like Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management, Effective Risk Management, and Agentless Workload Posture.
