Bridging the CNAPP — SecOps Divide
This IDC white paper explores the growing need to unify Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) with Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to bridge security gaps in cloud environments. It highlights challenges like fragmented teams, shadow cloud SOCs, and real-time threat detection limitations. The paper advocates for a unified platform—like Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex Cloud—that integrates CNAPP and SOC functions, enhancing threat detection, response times, and operational efficiency. AI, automation, and shared intelligence are emphasized as keys to future-proofing enterprise cybersecurity.
