Common Gaps in CNAPP Coverage and Solutions

This cheat sheet identifies five common gaps in Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) coverage and provides actionable guidance for security teams to address these issues. The first gap involves incomplete asset discovery and visibility, where CNAPPs may overlook shadow assets and misconfigured services. The second gap highlights the absence of active testing in production environments, which can lead to vulnerabilities. The third gap discusses siloed risk views across different cloud layers, emphasizing the need for unified risk correlation. The fourth gap focuses on incomplete identity and access risk analysis, where CNAPPs may fail to assess IAM configurations comprehensively. Lastly, the fifth gap addresses weak integration with DevSecOps workflows, which can result in delayed risk management. Each gap is accompanied by recommendations for solutions and tools to enhance CNAPP effectiveness and improve overall cloud security.
