Cloud Security and the Power of Runtime Insights

Cloud security is increasingly critical as over 85% of organizations are expected to adopt a cloud-first strategy by 2025, making cloud environments attractive targets for cybercriminals. The complexity of cloud services, such as SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, expands the attack surface for organizations, necessitating enhanced security measures. Traditional security tools often fall short in addressing the unique challenges of cloud environments, leading to the development of Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs). CNAPPs integrate various security functions into a single platform, providing comprehensive visibility and control over cloud workloads. By incorporating runtime insights, CNAPPs enable organizations to prioritize security threats based on business impact, thereby improving operational efficiency and minimizing risk. This approach allows DevSecOps teams to focus on significant threats without being overwhelmed by alerts, ultimately strengthening an organization's security posture. As cloud security continues to evolve, the integration of CNAPPs and runtime insights is becoming essential for proactive risk management and the protection of cloud infrastructures.
