Infosec glossary entry
A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is a comprehensive security solution designed to protect applications built and deployed in cloud environments. It combines various security capabilities, including vulnerability management, compliance monitoring, and runtime protection, into a single platform to secure the entire application lifecycle — from development to production.
CNAPPs address the unique challenges of cloud-native applications, which often leverage microservices, containers, and serverless architectures. By integrating security directly into the development process, CNAPPs help organizations identify and mitigate security risks early, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while maintaining the agility and speed that cloud environments provide. This proactive approach to security helps organizations safeguard their applications against a wide range of threats, such as data breaches and misconfigurations, ultimately enhancing their overall security posture in the cloud.
