This post is part of an ongoing series from Catherine Paganini and Jason Morgan that focuses on explaining each category of the cloud native landscape. In our introduction to the cloud native landscape, we provided a high-level overview of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation‘s cloud native ecosystem.

This encompasses the tools that are used to create and harden the foundation on which cloud native apps are built, including how the infrastructure is created, managed, and configured — automatically — as well as scanning, signing, and storing container images.

The tools in this space are an extremely varied group and seek to solve different portions of the problem.

As applications and operations adapt to a new cloud native world, security tools are evolving to meet new security needs.
