CNAPP Explained: The Smartest Way to Secure Cloud-Native Apps with EDSPL

Introduction: The New Era of Cloud-Native Apps

Cloud-native applications are rewriting the rules of how we build, scale, and secure digital products. Designed for agility and rapid innovation, these apps demand security strategies that are just as fast and flexible. That’s where CNAPP—Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform—comes in.

But simply deploying CNAPP isn’t enough.

You need the right strategy, the right partner, and the right security intelligence. That’s where EDSPL shines.

What is CNAPP? (And Why Your Business Needs It)

CNAPP stands for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform, a unified framework that protects cloud-native apps throughout their lifecycle—from development to production and beyond.

Instead of relying on fragmented tools, CNAPP combines multiple security services into a cohesive solution:

Cloud Security

Vulnerability management

Identity access control

Runtime protection

DevSecOps enablement

In short, it covers the full spectrum—from your code to your container, from your workload to your network security.

Why Traditional Security Isn’t Enough Anymore

The old way of securing applications with perimeter-based tools and manual checks doesn’t work for cloud-native environments. Here’s why:

Infrastructure is dynamic (containers, microservices, serverless)

Deployments are continuous

Apps run across multiple platforms

You need security that is cloud-aware, automated, and context-rich—all things that CNAPP and EDSPL’s services deliver together.

Core Components of CNAPP

Let’s break down the core capabilities of CNAPP and how EDSPL customizes them for your business:

1. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Checks your cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations and compliance gaps.

See how EDSPL handles cloud security with automated policy enforcement and real-time visibility.

2. Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP)

Protects virtual machines, containers, and functions from attacks.

This includes deep integration with application security layers to scan, detect, and fix risks before deployment.

3. CIEM: Identity and Access Management

Monitors access rights and roles across multi-cloud environments.

Your network, routing, and storage environments are covered with strict permission models.

4. DevSecOps Integration

CNAPP shifts security left—early into the DevOps cycle. EDSPL’s managed services ensure security tools are embedded directly into your CI/CD pipelines.

5. Kubernetes and Container Security

Containers need runtime defense. Our approach ensures zero-day protection within compute environments and dynamic clusters.

How EDSPL Tailors CNAPP for Real-World Environments

Every organization’s tech stack is unique. That’s why EDSPL never takes a one-size-fits-all approach. We customize CNAPP for your:

Cloud provider setup

Mobility strategy

Data center switching

Backup architecture

Storage preferences

This ensures your entire digital ecosystem is secure, streamlined, and scalable.

Case Study: CNAPP in Action with EDSPL

The Challenge

A fintech company using a hybrid cloud setup faced:

The concerted effort of maintaining application resilience

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/the-concerted-effort-of-maintaining-application-resilience/

The concerted effort of maintaining application resilience

Back when most business applications were monolithic, ensuring their resilience was by no means easy. But given the way apps run in 2025 and what’s expected of them, maintaining monolithic apps was arguably simpler.

Back then, IT staff had a finite set of criteria on which to improve an application’s resilience, and the rate of change to the application and its infrastructure was a great deal slower. Today, the demands we place on apps are different, more numerous, and subject to a faster rate of change.

There are also just more applications. According to IDC, there are likely to be a billion more in production by 2028 – and many of these will be running on cloud-native code and mixed infrastructure. With technological complexity and higher service expectations of responsiveness and quality, ensuring resilience has grown into being a massively more complex ask.

Multi-dimensional elements determine app resilience, dimensions that fall into different areas of responsibility in the modern enterprise: Code quality falls to development teams; infrastructure might be down to systems administrators or DevOps; compliance and data governance officers have their own needs and stipulations, as do cybersecurity professionals, storage engineers, database administrators, and a dozen more besides.

With multiple tools designed to ensure the resilience of an app – with definitions of what constitutes resilience depending on who’s asking – it’s small wonder that there are typically dozens of tools that work to improve and maintain resilience in play at any one time in the modern enterprise.

Determining resilience across the whole enterprise’s portfolio, therefore, is near-impossible. Monitoring software is silo-ed, and there’s no single pane of reference.

IBM’s Concert Resilience Posture simplifies the complexities of multiple dashboards, normalizes the different quality judgments, breaks down data from different silos, and unifies the disparate purposes of monitoring and remediation tools in play.

Speaking ahead of TechEx North America (4-5 June, Santa Clara Convention Center), Jennifer Fitzgerald, Product Management Director, Observability, at IBM, took us through the Concert Resilience Posture solution, its aims, and its ethos. On the latter, she differentiates it from other tools:

“Everything we’re doing is grounded in applications – the health and performance of the applications and reducing risk factors for the application.”

The app-centric approach means the bringing together of the different metrics in the context of desired business outcomes, answering questions that matter to an organization’s stakeholders, like:

Will every application scale?

What effects have code changes had?

Are we over- or under-resourcing any element of any application?

Is infrastructure supporting or hindering application deployment?

Are we safe and in line with data governance policies?

What experience are we giving our customers?

Jennifer says IBM Concert Resilience Posture is, “a new way to think about resilience – to move it from a manual stitching [of other tools] or a ton of different dashboards.” Although the definition of resilience can be ephemeral, according to which criteria are in play, Jennifer says it’s comprised, at its core, of eight non-functional requirements (NFRs):

Observability

Availability

Maintainability

Recoverability

Scalability

Usability

Integrity

Security

NFRs are important everywhere in the organization, and there are perhaps only two or three that are the sole remit of one department – security falls to the CISO, for example. But ensuring the best quality of resilience in all of the above is critically important right across the enterprise. It’s a shared responsibility for maintaining excellence in performance, potential, and safety.

What IBM Concert Resilience Posture gives organizations, different from what’s offered by a collection of disparate tools and beyond the single-pane-of-glass paradigm, is proactivity. Proactive resilience comes from its ability to give a resilience score, based on multiple metrics, with a score determined by the many dozens of data points in each NFR. Companies can see their overall or per-app scores drift as changes are made – to the infrastructure, to code, to the portfolio of applications in production, and so on.

“The thought around resilience is that we as humans aren’t perfect. We’re going to make mistakes. But how do you come back? You want your applications to be fully, highly performant, always optimal, with the required uptime. But issues are going to happen. A code change is introduced that breaks something, or there’s more demand on a certain area that slows down performance. And so the application resilience we’re looking at is all around the ability of systems to withstand and recover quickly from disruptions, failures, spikes in demand, [and] unexpected events,” she says.

IBM’s acquisition history points to some of the complimentary elements of the Concert Resilience Posture solution – Instana for full-stack observability, Turbonomic for resource optimization, for example. But the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. There’s an AI-powered continuous assessment of all elements that make up an organization’s resilience, so there’s one place where decision-makers and IT teams can assess, manage, and configure the full-stack’s resilience profile.

The IBM portfolio of resilience-focused solutions helps teams see when and why loads change and therefore where resources are wasted. It’s possible to ensure that necessary resources are allocated only when needed, and systems automatically scale back when they’re not. That sort of business- and cost-centric capability is at the heart of app-centric resilience, and means that a company is always optimizing its resources.

Overarching all aspects of app performance and resilience is the element of cost. Throwing extra resources at an under-performing application (or its supporting infrastructure) isn’t a viable solution in most organizations. With IBM, organizations get the ability to scale and grow, to add or iterate apps safely, without necessarily having to invest in new provisioning, either in the cloud or on-premise. Plus, they can see how any changes impact resilience. It’s making best use of what’s available, and winning back capacity – all while getting the best performance, responsiveness, reliability, and uptime across the enterprise’s application portfolio.

Jennifer says, “There’s a lot of different things that can impact resilience and that’s why it’s been so difficult to measure. An application has so many different layers underneath, even in just its resources and how it’s built. But then there’s the spider web of downstream impacts. A code change could impact multiple apps, or it could impact one piece of an app. What is the downstream impact of something going wrong? And that’s a big piece of what our tools are helping organizations with.”

Securing Access at Machine Speed: Why SASE Is the Architecture for the AI Age

Securing Access at Machine Speed: Why SASE Is the Architecture for the AI Age

AI-powered adversaries have redefined what fast looks like. Credential stuffing at machine speed. Behavioral mimicry that defeats anomaly detection. And automated reconnaissance that probes VPNs and lateral movement paths without fatigue or friction. In this threat environment, traditional secure access models are no longer just outdated—they’re dangerous.

According to the 2025 State of Secure Network Access Report, 52% of cybersecurity professionals say remote connectivity is now the single hardest resource to secure. VPNs are breaking under the weight of hybrid work. SaaS and remote endpoints are slipping through fragmented security stacks. The perimeter has not only disappeared—it has dissolved into an unpredictable, cloud-native reality.

In this AI-fueled arms race, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) isn’t just a security architecture. It’s the foundational control plane for defending the enterprise.

The Real Threat Isn’t Just Exposure — It’s AI-Accelerated Exploitation

Every modern breach involves abuse of access. Whether it’s a compromised VPN session, stolen OAuth token, or overly permissive SaaS role, attackers aren’t breaking in—they’re logging in. AI simply makes this process faster and harder to detect.

Machine learning models can now generate spear phishing payloads tailored to user roles. LLMs are used to write malware and obfuscate scripts. Compromised endpoints feed behavioral data back to attacker systems that refine their evasion tactics in real time.

And yet, most organizations still rely on static policies, brittle network controls, and legacy access methods. The result? An unguarded runway for AI-assisted lateral movement.

SASE: Designed for This Moment

SASE unifies SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS) into a single, cloud-delivered fabric. It treats access not as a static configuration, but as a dynamic decision.

Every request is evaluated in real time. Who is the user? What device are they on? Where are they logging in from? Are they behaving like themselves? Based on this context, access is granted, challenged, or revoked instantly. This is how Zero Trust is enforced in practice—not just in posture decks.

SASE flips the model: users and apps no longer connect to the network. They connect to each other, through policy. And that policy is where your control resides.

Goodbye VPN: Legacy Access Is an Open Door

VPNs are the analog solution to a digital problem. They create flat network access, route traffic inefficiently, and rely on static credentials. They’re slow for users, opaque for defenders, and goldmines for attackers.

The report confirms it: over half of respondents say VPNs are their hardest access layer to secure. High latency. Poor visibility. Inconsistent enforcement. Worse, 42% of organizations say employees themselves are the highest risk group to business security—not outsiders. That’s a damning indictment of legacy access.

SASE eliminates the VPN choke point. Instead of tunneling everything back to a data center, users connect directly to the apps they need—through inspection points that enforce policy, detect anomalies, and block malicious behavior in real time.

AI on Your Side: SASE as Security Infrastructure for Machine Speed

AI threats require AI defenses. But AI can’t protect what it can’t see or control. That’s why SASE is more than just a security delivery model. It’s the infrastructure that enables intelligent, automated defense.

SASE platforms generate unified telemetry across users, devices, locations, apps, and behavior. This rich, normalized data set is what fuels AI-based detection models. It enables machine learning to find patterns, surface anomalies, and continuously optimize policy enforcement.

With SASE in place, you don’t just detect threats faster—you respond in real time. Contextual access controls can throttle bandwidth, trigger re-authentication, or isolate risky sessions automatically. Human responders focus on strategy, not fire drills.

The Choice Is Now: Fragmented or Future-Proof

SASE isn’t a trend. It’s an inevitability. The question is whether organizations adopt it on their terms—or after a breach forces their hand.

In an AI-dominated threat landscape, the winners will be those who design for machine-speed security. Unified visibility. Adaptive controls. Real-time enforcement. These are not future requirements. They are today’s minimums.

SASE makes them possible.

So the real question isn’t whether you can afford to deploy SASE.

It’s whether you can afford not to.
