The Global Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market size is expected to reach $21.2 billion by 2028, rising at a market growth of 18.6% CAGR during the forecast period

In today’s highly automated, dynamic public cloud settings, a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) is a security and compliance solution that aids teams in developing, deploying, and operating secure cloud-native apps.


New York, Jan. 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Cloud-native Application Protection Platform Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Offering, By Cloud Type, By Organization Size, By Vertical, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06412021/?utm_source=GNW
Security teams may work more efficiently with developers and DevOps owing to CNAPPs. CSPM, IAM, CIEM, data protection, CWPP, and other features are consolidated under the umbrella of CNAPP, a new cloud security platform.

Traditional security methods, techniques, and tools were created to safeguard endpoints and on-premises data centers, not cloud-native applications and services. However, these techniques are inadequate given the move to cloud-native technologies, dynamic and transient settings, rapid release cycles, and contemporary development approaches (such as infrastructure as code [IaC], containers, CI/CD pipelines, serverless functions, and Kubernetes).

In the public cloud, changes happen often, and the security team must manage security and compliance—ideally without slowing down the whole enterprise. To do this, businesses must find security flaws and vulnerabilities early in the development process, move quickly to fix them, and provide constant, reliable security and assurance. Unfortunately, it may be pretty challenging to do all of that using a conventional strategy, given the many interdependencies in contemporary contexts.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Many companies provide cloud security and compliance posture monitoring for cloud-native environments such as Azure, AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes after the covid-19 period. In addition, many enterprises have shifted to cloud environments to be ready for any uncertain lockdowns in their respective countries. Thus, it becomes more critical for companies to automate security, administration, and compliance with tailored policies while providing high-fidelity visibility and control. However, since the COVID-19 outbreak, there has been a boom in cloud adoption, paving the way for the demand for a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) Market.

Market Growth Factors

SMES Using BYOD and Remote Work Alternatives

Employers that use cloud-based technology and the BYOD concept allow workers to work remotely while connected to the office network. Enterprises are gradually switching to the cloud deployment paradigm due to the rising popularity of public cloud solutions and BYOD regulations. Organizations are quickly embracing Work-from-home and BYOD initiatives. Remote employment promotes general health and helps businesses avoid productivity loss.

Adoption of Cloud-Based Solutions Growing

More and more verticals are using cloud-based solutions. Cloud-based solutions allow the development of new machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities and facilitate more productive working. Traditional security methods and solutions were created to safeguard endpoints and on-premises data centers, not cloud-native applications and services. With the move to cloud technologies, security teams must be able to spot security problems and vulnerabilities early in the development process, move quickly to fix them, and provide reliable protection.

Market Restraining Factors

Inadequate Technical Knowledge to Build and Manage CNAPP

Technical expertise and experience are needed for CNAPP solution deployment and upkeep. Nevertheless, in recent years, businesses have started employing security executives without the necessary training and experience. Advanced cloud and security capabilities are more in demand than ever, but there is a severe shortage of certified, competent workers to support this shift, particularly in non-tech-related businesses, according to a Forbes study from 2020 titled The Cloud Talent Drought Continues.

Offering Outlook

Based on the offering, the Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market is divided into Platform (Without Services) and Professional Services. The Platform segment produced the largest market revenue share in 2021. A CNAPP is all-in-one cloud-native software that makes it easier to monitor, identify, and respond to any threats and vulnerabilities to cloud security. By integrating several tools and functionalities into a single software solution, CNAPP reduces complexity. Through the whole CI/CD application lifecycle, from development to production, CNAPP provides end-to-end cloud and application security.

Cloud Type Outlook

Based on Cloud Type, the Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market is segmented into Public and Hybrid. The hybrid segment acquired a significant revenue share in the market in 2021. The hybrid model has been the most popular implementation methodology across sectors. Many businesses are emphasizing more on creating hybrid cloud models and clever strategies to help improve business operations, resource consumption, cost efficiency, user experience, and application modernization while maximizing the benefits.

Organization Size Outlook

Based on the organization size, the Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market is classified into Large Enterprises and SMEs. Large enterprises accounted for the higher share of the market in 2021. Large businesses are using the CNAPP platform and associated professional services more and more. Large enterprises are starting to use cloud-based solutions more often than on-premises ones. The BYOD and work-from-home trends have been adopted more quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has raised the hazards associated with using cloud-based solutions.

Vertical Outlook

Based on vertical, the Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) market is classified into BFSI, Healthcare, Retail & eCommerce, Telecommunication, IT & ITeS, and Others. The retail & eCommerce segment accounted for the consiferable revenue share in the market during 2021. Different payment methods are used by these E-commerce platforms and online retail outlets to gather consumers’ personal and private information, such as email addresses, phone numbers, credit card information, and complete addresses in the event of home deliveries.

Regional Outlook

Based on region, the Cloud-native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. North America emerged as the leading region in the market with the largest revenue share in 2021 and is expected to continue this trend over the forecast period. To sustain operational functionality, and business continuity, and prevent misconfiguration, North American organizations have taken multiple steps forward into cloud adoption and are progressively adopting cloud data protection methods like data encryption, DLP, data integrity monitoring, data threat protection, and CSPM.
