Introducing CNAPP - Unified Protection for Cloud-Native Applications
Full‑stack security built for modern DevSecOps teams – covering code, identity, infrastructure, and runtime.
What is CNAPP?
A Cloud‑Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is a unified security solution designed to safeguard your applications from development to runtime. As defined by Gartner and explained by security leaders like Orca, Palo Alto, IBM, and Microsoft, CNAPP consolidates CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, IaC scanning, runtime detection, threat analytics, and compliance controls into a single pane of glass interface. This approach eliminates siloes, simplifies security operations, and enables teams to collaborate more closely as part of modern DevSecOps pipelines.
Key Capabilities (bullet list):
• Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
• Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)
• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) scanning
• Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM)
• Runtime threat detection & response (CDR)
• Compliance automation (PCI‑DSS, GDPR, SOC 2, HIPAA)
Why CNAPP Matters
Pain Points Addressed:
• Fragmented security tools leading to blind spots
• Misconfigurations expose cloud infrastructure to breach risk
• Compliance is time-consuming and manual
• Siloed workflows slow down Dev & Security alignment
CNAPP Advantages:
• Unified, contextual visibility across cloud accounts and workloads
• Automated remediation and prioritized risk insights
• Built for multi-cloud, containerized, and serverless environments
• Shift-left integration with CI/CD tools to catch issues early
• Reduced license & operational costs via consolidation
Our CNAPP Solution
Overview of Offering: At Datanet Hosting, we deliver CNAPP built to work across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. You can opt for agent-based or agentless deployment and seamlessly integrate with CI/CD pipelines for continuous security visibility.
Features Summary:
• Unified dashboard for development, security, and operations teams
• Real-time workload scanning and runtime threat detection
• Identity entitlements governance with CIEM
• Pre‑deployment IaC scanning for misconfigurations
• Automated compliance reports and remediation playbooks
Cloud Security Posture Management
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) ensures continuous monitoring of cloud configurations to detect misconfigurations and policy violations. It helps organizations maintain compliance with industry standards and security best practices across cloud environments.
IaC Scanning
IaC Scanning involves analyzing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates—such as Terraform or CloudFormation—before deployment to identify misconfigurations, policy violations, and security risks. This proactive approach helps prevent vulnerabilities from entering cloud environments at the earliest stage of the development lifecycle.
Cloud Workload Protection Platforms
Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPP) provide security for workloads running in cloud environments, including VMs, containers, and serverless functions. They offer real-time workload detection and runtime protection to defend against threats during execution.
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) focuses on managing and governing identities, roles, and permissions across cloud environments. It helps organizations enforce the principle of least privilege by minimizing excessive access and continuously monitoring entitlements.
CDR & Risk Correlation
CDR & Risk Correlation enables advanced threat detection by analyzing signals across cloud runtime environments and identity data. Correlating runtime behaviors with user entitlements and activities helps identify complex attack patterns and reduce false positives.
CNAPP vs Traditional Tools Table
| Traditional Security Tools | CNAPP‑Powered Approach |
|---|---|
| CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, IaC tools separately | One unified platform |
| Manual risk correlation & alerting | Automated, prioritized dashboards |
| Siloed dev, security, operations teams | Integrated DevSecOps‑oriented workflow |
| Multiple vendor tools, higher cost | Consolidated licensing and lower ops overhead |
