Gartner’s 2023 “https://sysdig.com/rep-2023-gartner-market-guide-for-cnapp/” (CNAPP) caused some security leaders to question whether they need yet another tool to protect the complex beast that is the cloud. Procuring yet another shiny security product is probably not how you earn the envy of your peers, but if your organization relies on shipping secure applications fast, then CNAPP should be on your radar. It’s right there in the name: Cloud native application is the thing being secured.

Most organizations are not, and may never be, fully cloud native and must continue to maintain the security of their traditional environments.

In short, CNAPP is for securing software you build, not software you buy.
