About Cloud-native Application Protection
Cloud-native Application Protection (CNAP) refers to a group of security practices, tools, and strategies designed to protect applications developed to run in the cloud environment. CNAP aims to protect applications throughout their lifecycle, from design, development, testing, deployment, and runtime, as opposed to traditional security models in which perimeter defenses form the basis of serving the needs of security. Cloud-native applications, commonly modeled with microservices and container and serverless architectures, are subject to unique security challenges in that respect. To meet this, CNAP features integrated security measures throughout all stages: development, testing configuration, deployment, and runtime. Continuous monitoring provides a major tenet of CNAP and enables the detection of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations as they occur. The latter allows for timely identification and subsequent mitigation of security threats before exploits occur. Apart from this, CNAP also involves the application of automated tools to guarantee security policy enforcement—such as identity and access management (IAM) and sensitive data encryption—in line with security standards. It also underpins the infrastructure on which the application sits, including container orchestration applications like Kubernetes. Security integrated into the development pipeline by CNAP implies that security is no longer an afterthought but now forms a core aspect of the application's architecture.
