2024 Cloud Native Security Report

The 2024 Cloud Native Security Report is a comprehensive analysis of how organizations are addressing security in cloud native application development. Conducted by Linux Foundation Research, the report is based on a survey of 200 respondents involved in cloud native application development. It outlines key findings, including that 49% of organizations utilize CI/CD security testing on every update, and highlights the growing importance of vulnerability scanning and remediation. The report notes that 76% of organizations report that much or nearly all their application development is cloud native, with 84% stating their cloud native applications are more secure than two years ago. It also discusses the challenges faced in securing cloud native applications, particularly the complexity of software and infrastructure, and emphasizes the role of continuous learning and the use of automated security tools. The findings suggest a positive trend in the security posture of cloud native applications as organizations increasingly adopt best practices and security tools.
