Gartner forecasts that, by 2029, “60% of enterprises that do not deploy a unified CNAPP solution within their cloud architecture will lack extensive visibility into the cloud attack surface and consequently fail to achieve their desired zero-trust goals.”

Looking ahead, how can security and risk management teams enhance their cloud security to consolidate tools, minimize costs and complexity, and boost visibility across their infrastructure. The Gartner® Market Guide for CNAPP offers comprehensive market analysis, key findings, and strategic recommendations for protecting your cloud-native applications.

Our key takeaways from the report that you might find useful when selecting the right CNAPP vendor:

• Streamline complexity and enhance the developer experience by opting for integrated CNAPP solutions that offer full life cycle visibility and protection of cloud-native applications from development and staging to runtime operations.

• Choose CNAPP vendors that support a range of runtime visibility techniques, such as traditional agents, Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) support, snapshotting, privileged containers, and Kubernetes (K8s) integration for maximum deployment flexibility.

• Regardless of CNAPP adoption, create a DevSecOps vision centered on developer experience. Focus on reducing friction, improving risk identification, and minimizing false positives. Keep developers within their native tools and provide specific context and remediation recommendations.
