2024 Market Guide for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms

Safeguard cloud-native applications and counter the growing attack surface by adopting CNAPP offerings.
According to Gartner, “End-user calls on CNAPPs rose 29% from 2023 to 2024. The budget for a CNAPP typically comes from the chief information security officer organization (CISO). Gartner has observed a notable shift in the primary buyer landscape, with the security/AppSec team playing a more influential role. This trend is accompanied by the emergence of platform engineering team leaders and cloud and application architects, as well as a greater emphasis on security collaboration.”*

We believe this report will help CISOs, AppSec, and CloudSec leaders understand the following:

  • Unify risk visibility across cloud environments and the entire app life cycle is essential.
  • Separate and siloed security and legacy app testing offers little to no value for cloud apps.
  • “Connecting the dots” throughout the multiple layers of application security vulnerabilities.
  • Leveraging API discovery and API posture management insights along with SAST, DAST, ASPM.
