To effectively secure cloud environments, cybersecurity professionals are turning to a unified cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that combines agentless and agent-based protections. This approach provides deep visibility, real-time threat protection, and comprehensive monitoring while being agile and flexible in large-scale environments. Contextualized security features, such as contextual cloud security posture management (CSPM), further enhance organizations' ability to prioritize and remediate security risks. By adopting a CNAPP, organizations can proactively embed best practices across the enterprise and improve collaboration between SOC analysts, security administrators, developers, and more. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
