The proliferation of cloud-native applications in today’s business landscape has helped organizations streamline operations. Businesses can now monitor data, engage with customers and share insights in near-real time, helping them overcome inefficiencies that once stifled productivity. However, using the cloud also greatly expands a business’s exploitable attack surface.
The rapid adoption of cloud infrastructure and application security tools such as CSPM, CWPP, CNAPP, SAST, SCA, IaC, DAST, etc., is a direct result of this trend, which has helped security teams identify the new risks created by their expanded operating environments in the cloud.
