The power of prioritization: Why practitioners need CNAPP with runtime insights
Blog post from Sysdig
As cloud applications proliferate, the need for agile development and robust security becomes paramount, prompting the integration of cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) that offer a unified approach to safeguarding the entire application lifecycle. These platforms provide security teams with comprehensive threat visibility across multi-cloud environments, facilitating a more effective prioritization of real risks, particularly through the use of runtime insights. Such insights allow teams to focus on current, exploitable vulnerabilities, thereby mitigating alert fatigue and ensuring efficient risk management. By distinguishing critical vulnerabilities based on runtime context, CNAPPs enable security practitioners to address genuine threats promptly, thereby aligning cloud security measures with the rapid pace of innovation. This approach not only aids in preventing lateral movement attacks but also ensures that security does not become a bottleneck in the development process, ultimately fortifying the organization's cloud infrastructure against potential threats.
