When cloud environments become complex, safety teams face increasing challenges in discovering risks, identifying priorities and treating risk.
While cloud security mode management tools (CSPM) was created to provide vision in cloud formations and cloud work protection platforms (CWPP) to manage threats to cloud work burdens, they invented gaps in providing a total context that enables effective risk management and did not extend through the life development cycle Complete (SDLC).
The CNAPP protection platform (CNAPP) fills this gap by providing an integrated solution that gives cloud applications from development to operation time, and dealing with both infrastructure risks and work burden. To understand how CNAPP for cloud security, we spoke with Rani Osnnat, the first vice president of strategy at Aqua Security.
BN: How is CNAPP Cloud Security?
RO: CNAPP is important for complex cloud environments today because they combine CSPM, CWPP and “Shift Left” scanning and other capabilities on a unified platform. This integration enables safety teams to handle weaknesses and composition early in the application life cycle, providing a continuous vision and actual time assessments while protecting applications at the time of operation in the actual time. By securing the entire life cycle, CNAPP guarantees, processing, or reducing risks before pushing requests to production, as well as enabling the rapid response when the threats are discovered after publication. This helps organizations maintain strong safety with the development of cloud infrastructure.
BN: Why improves the speed of reform and determines the risk priorities in cloud security teams?
RO: The speed of treatment is very important because the weaknesses can be used quickly in cloud environments. The longer the period of weakness, the greater the danger. CNAPP improves the speed of repair by integrating tools that give priority to alerts and give the context of them, allowing safety teams to focus on the most important weaknesses in their environment first, not only based on their general severity or result. By linking the risks with the specific work burdens and cloud formations, CNAPP guarantees that the teams can identify and address the most urgent problems quickly, reduce fatigue in alert and reduce the window before and after the application.
BN: What is the importance of average time for treatment (MTTR) in cloud safety?
RO: MTTR is a decisive scale, as it measures the speed of security teams that can fix weaknesses once they are discovered and appointed to treatment. In cloud environments, where new weaknesses appear frequently and attackers are constantly looking for weak spots, it is necessary to perform a quick treatment to reduce the window during which the attacker can use weakness. Using CNAPP, safety teams can lower MTR with automatic weakness, priority risk photography, and treatment guidelines for treatment. By integrating safety into CI/CD pipelines, CNAPP ensures early weaknesses, increasing the treatment process and enhancing safety processes.
BN: How can Genai help simplify the process of cloud security?
RO: Genai turns the treatment process by automating detailed therapeutic steps. Through the integration of Genai, which learns a classification and context of weaknesses, safety teams can create detailed step -by -step reforms for the step of weakness and wrong compositions through multiple cloud environments and code. This eliminates manual research and exploring and repairing errors, allowing the teams to implement solutions directly through the code or infrastructure molds such as code or cloud application programming facades.
The largest Genai feature is its ability to provide immediate and implementable guidelines. Once weakened, the difference can simply click a button to get a step -by -step solution, including relevant software excerpts. Treatment becomes simple as copies and paste of repair into the appropriate basic system, which reduces MTTR and accelerates the total safety process. As Genai advances, it will improve its understanding of complex cloud formations, allowing faster and more accurate treatment.
BN: How to track the code to the cloud helps in managing cloud safety risks?
RO: Tracking a code to the cloud is invaluable in relation to cloud safety because it directly links the weaknesses of production with the excerpts of the specific code and the obligations that you provided. This approach provides safety teams to determine the source of the weakness in the code warehouse and determine the developer or the individual team that it owns, which reduces the need for intense research through multiple software warehouses and help in knowing the development team about reform.
This tracking enhances accountability, enabling developers to possess and solve safety problems directly at the level of code, which is very important to treatment faster. In addition, the combination of this track from Code COULISH to Runtem provides a continuous safety position through the application life cycle, enabling safety and development teams to maintain control of both processes in large and complex cloud environments.
BN: Why is compliance with an endless task in cloud environments?
RO: Compliance is a continuous challenge, as institutions need compliance with different and complex requirements such as NIST, PCI, HIPAA and GDPR. CNAPP helps by automating the application of policy and continuous monitoring, ensuring the alignment of cloud environments with current compliance criteria. By integrating compliance with development pipelines, CNAPP guarantees the treatment of security and compliance early, which reduces the risk of non -compliance during audit operations. Automation of reports, real time evaluation, and ready -made documents for review, assist institutions at the top of organizational requirements.
BN: What is the following for CNAPP with the continued development of cloud safety?
RO: When cloud environments become more complex, CNAPP will remain necessary in shaping safety strategies. Gartner predicts that by 2025, 60 percent of institutions will integrate CSPM protection and carry cloud work into CNAPP, highlighting its importance. But there is a shift that occurs. Companies began to understand that the vision and the determination of priorities alone are not enough. The future of CNAPP revolves around bypassing risk identification into a more advanced approach that focuses on understanding the attackers.
This shift towards a deeper understanding of the opponents indicates the mentality of a more mature cloud. In the future, CNAPP will need to integrate more richer visions in the behavior of the attackers, allowing security teams to be more active rather than interacting. By doing this, CNAPP will cover the entire cloud applications cycle and enable organizations to build flexibility against an increasingly advanced threat scene, and expands with confidence and confidence in the cloud.
