CNAPP Buyer’s Guide

Secure Your Cloud, Proactively

Cloud breaches have become one of the biggest cyber threats today. In 2024 alone, cloud incidents rose by 154%, yet only a small fraction of teams could respond fast enough. Traditional, alert-heavy tools fall short in dynamic cloud environments.

That’s why more organizations are adopting to a Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), a unified solution that embeds security into every layer of the cloud. But selecting the right CNAPP requires more than ticking off features. It demands a shift in mindset that goes from reactive to prevention-first strategies.

In this CNAPP Buyer’s Guide, you’ll get a practical breakdown of:

  • The rise of CNAPPs and why cloud security needs to change
    Learn why tool sprawl and reactive security models no longer keep up with cloud speed. Understand how CNAPPs unify siloed functions like CSPM, CIEM, and CWPP into a single platform that sees and secures everything.
  • What defines a prevention-first CNAPP and why it matters
    Explore the difference between alerting and actual protection. See how prevention-first platforms integrate into development workflows, block risky changes automatically, and reduce exposure time from days to minutes.
  • How to put CNAPP to work for real-world, proactive defense
    Discover how to embed security into DevOps pipelines, automate remediation, enforce least-privilege access, and use intelligent prioritization to focus on what matters most.
  • What to evaluate when choosing the right CNAPP
    Get a checklist of capabilities to look for: multicloud coverage, automation, scalability, compliance readiness, AI-based analytics, and seamless integration with your existing tools.
  • How Saner Cloud delivers on prevention where others don’t
