Data Theorem Listed as a Representative Vendor for CNAPP in 2021 Gartner® "Innovation Insight for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms" Report

Data Theorem, Inc., a leading provider of modern application security, today announced that it was identified as a Representative Vendor for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) in the 2021 Gartner “Innovation Insight for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms” report.

According to Gartner, “Optimal security of cloud-native applications requires an integrated approach that starts in development and extends to runtime protection. SRM (security and risk management) leaders should evaluate emerging cloud-native application protection platforms that provide a complete life cycle approach for security…The most significant benefit of a CNAPP approach is better visibility and control of cloud-native application risk. Attempts to identify and remediate application risk have been fragmented across multiple toolsets spanning development and runtime.”1

Data Theorem is the first to deliver comprehensive full stack security for today’s modern applications that starts at the client layer (mobile and web), protects the network layer (REST and GraphQL APIs), and extends down through the underlying infrastructure (cloud services). Its award-winning Analyzer Engine delivers unified application security (AppSec) support, with dynamic application security testing (DAST), static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, Application Observability, API Runtime Defense, and Hacker Toolkit coverage using Data Theorem’s Analyzer Engine to increase DevSecOps support for today’s modern and cloud-native applications.

According to Gartner, “There is a shift in focus in leading-edge security organizations from protecting infrastructure to protecting workloads and the applications that run on these workloads…Security testing needs to be integrated as seamlessly as possible into the DevOps-style development and deployment of cloud-native applications…In development, static application security testing (SAST), API security testing, dynamic application security testing (DAST), IaC scanning and threat modeling were identified as the five most commonly used tools to secure cloud-native applications.”1

“We believe being recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in its CNAPP report validates the need for unified AppSec and CloudSec support with continuous, automated security inspection and remediation, which we are delivering,” said Doug Dooley, Data Theorem COO. “Since its inception addressing the biggest challenges in the application security market, Data Theorem has continued to innovate over the years to extend its differentiated AppSec technology platform to secure cloud-native applications.”

Data Theorem’s award-winning Analyzer Engine leverages a new type of dynamic and run-time analysis that is fully integrated into the CI/CD process, and enables organizations to conduct continuous, automated security inspection and remediation. It powers Data Theorem’s broad AppSec portfolio to protect organizations from data breaches with application security testing and protection for modern application frameworks, API-driven microservices and cloud resources.
