Two decades ago, security was an afterthought; it was often “bolted on” to existing applications that left businesses with a reactive approach to threat visibility and enforcement. But with the proliferation of cloud native applications and businesses employing a work-from-anywhere model, the traditional approach to security is being reimagined to play an integral role from development through operations. From identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and adapting to risk across the applications, organizations are moving to a full view of their risk posture by employing security across the entire lifecycle.

As the cloud native landscape evolves, addressing these new challenges requires new “architectural building blocks for cloud native application security,” Tipirneni said.

And as the shift to the work-from-anywhere model becomes mainstream and cloud applications continue to surge, it is redefining new developments like “security and observability is converging,” said Tipirneni.
