The DevSecOps Pro’s Guide to Buying a Cloud Security Platform in 2023

Alert overload. Slashed budget. Hiring freeze.

Such is your reality in 2023. As if it wasn’t hard enough before…

The day-to-day challenges haven’t gone anywhere. Challenges like identifying and prioritizing cloud security risks, staying on top of config management, vulnerability management, maintaining an immutable infrastructure, keeping knowledgeable about the latest AWS, GCP, and Azure services, and we haven’t even talked about Kubernetes yet.

You need help. The killer application in native cloud security environments is a robust platform that can give coverage from build to runtime. Perhaps you already work with a Cloud Native Application Protection Provider (CNAPP) and it’s not meeting your expectations.

There’s no shortage of vendors staking their claim as a “CNAPP”:

  • Aqua
  • Palo Alto Prisma Cloud
  • Lacework
  • Lightspin
  • Wiz
  • Orca
  • Sysdig

… we could go on.

So what do you do? To start, you need a platform that Gartner has chosen as a representative CNAPP.

Get equipped with what you need to conduct your search to elevate you and your team’s efforts in your cloud environment in 2023.

The guide includes:

  • Advice on how to evaluate your needs based on your current state
  • Specific features to look for (in the form of a checklist!)
  • Other important criteria to weigh in a vendor

Choosing the right tools that efficiently reduce risk is a top priority for many organizations. Read this guide to see the exciting future of improving Mean Time To Resolve (MTTR), reducing your cloud security spend making your CFO happy, and freeing up your team’s time with contextual focus, and meaningful reducing the risk of a breach and the debilitating effects of malware.

The right CNAPP should provide various benefits: short time to value via out of the box contextualized cloud risk prioritization, improved team efficiency by doing away with meaningless alerts, streamlined time to fix with dynamic remediation for DevOps via ready-made Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and cost savings with tool consolidation (you should be able to consolidate 2 – 4 tools with a CNAPP implementation - Vuln scanning, CSPM, CIEM, runtime protection are common replacements).

Those are all great, but the #1 benefit of an investment in a CNAPP is a reduction of cybersecurity risk. Decreasing the likelihood of a breach and eliminating the debilitating effects of malware are two big risk categories.
