Cloud Native Security for You
Security tools have evolved alongside the transformation of datacenter computing. Initially, new platforms often require dedicated, specialized security tools. However, as these platforms gain broader adoption, their unique security needs are integrated into more comprehensive, all-in-one security platforms to address the challenges effectively.
For example, as on-premises datacenter virtualization became the norm rather than the exception, specialized security tools were built and eventually incorporated into security platforms. The same has happened with cloud native security tools. Security platforms bring common capabilities to virtualized datacenters and multi-, hybrid-cloud by automating solutions to the challenges.
-
Real-Time Visibility for Predictable Security
Modern virtualized and cloud environments are far more dynamic than traditional datacenters. Integration with the management plane ensures inventories are accurate and updated in real time whether you use hyperscale cloud providers, VMware vCenter or any combination. This provides visibility, which is the first major hurdle to ensuring security is predictably applied.
-
Streamlined Security with Automation
Tools that automatically apply security policies, keep on top of updates, and identify security threats relieve teams of effort-intensive manual tasks.
-
One Platform for Comprehensive Security Management
While specialized tools have their place, consolidated platforms provide efficiencies which otherwise require integration and maintenance efforts. Bringing workload security into a single platform means workloads running within an on-premises datacenter or public cloud have the same security applied.
-
Prioritize and Act with Intuitive Incident Vizualization
A unified security and risk platform uses signals from a variety of sources within the platform tool stack to create context-rich security incidents that are quickly prioritized, investigated and remediated.
If you are facing these challenges, especially when looking at Cloud Native Security, the right security platform for you will provide the security you need without creating an additional burden on your team.
Another layer of help is available in the form of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) and related services. These offerings bring 24x7 coverage by experts in a Security Operations Center. While effective security platforms bring the benefits of consolidation and correlation, allowing teams to prioritize their efforts, MDR augments security teams with platform expertise, and additional skills such as threat hunting and incident investigation.

FAQs
Is Cloud Native Security part of Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) solutions?
Cloud Native Security is also called Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, or CNAPP. These interchangeable terms describe a set of solutions which perform both cloud workload security (runtime protection, container security, etc.) and cloud security posture management.
Check-out What is Cloud Security? on InfoZone.
Do organizations usually already have cloud native security?
Some organizations have broad cloud adoption and are experienced with CNS. Most enterprises are encountering new challenges as their cloud adoption expands, and are looking for ways to effectively identify solutions which fit with their broader security strategy.
Are there similarities between on-premises virtualization security and cloud native security?
Yes, both focus on securing workloads and share objectives like platform protection, compliance, and advanced threat detection. However, cloud-native security requires deeper integration with cloud platforms for visibility and automation. This drives many organizations to adopt unified security platforms to manage both environments efficiently.
Is there a way to see a demo before contacting Bitdefender?
