CNAPP Product Tour

CNAPP Platform: Complete Guide

Explore everything you need to know about Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs), why they matter, how they work, and how AccuKnox helps you stay secure in today’s complex cloud environments.

What is a CNAPP?

A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is an all-in-one security solution designed to protect cloud-native applications across their entire lifecycle, from development to production.

Instead of relying on disconnected tools, CNAPP consolidates visibility, compliance, workload protection, identity management, and posture control into a single platform. It’s built for how modern enterprises use the cloud at scale, across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, and often with containerized and serverless architectures.

Core Components of a CNAPP

A robust CNAPP combines multiple critical security modules:

  • Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM):
    Continuously scans your cloud for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and risk exposures.
  • Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP):
    Protects workloads – whether they run in VMs, containers, or serverless—at runtime using deep, process-level visibility.
  • Kubernetes Security Posture Management (KSPM):
    Secures your Kubernetes environments by monitoring configurations, cluster-level risks, and runtime anomalies.

By integrating these layers, a CNAPP provides full-stack cloud security, eliminating alert fatigue and blind spots that can occur when juggling multiple point tools.

Why Enterprises Are Moving to CNAPP

Today’s cloud environments are fast-moving and complex. Security teams face:

  • Constant configuration drift
  • Growing attack surfaces
  • Over-permissioned identities
  • Fragmented toolsets and disconnected alerts

CNAPP solves these problems by delivering end-to-end security visibility, risk prioritization, and automated enforcement, built for multi-cloud and hybrid environments. It empowers DevOps and SecOps to work collaboratively without slowing down innovation.

Why AccuKnox CNAPP?

AccuKnox takes CNAPP to the next level by combining Zero Trust principles with advanced open-source telemetry. Here’s how we’re different:

  • Zero Trust Policy Enforcement at runtime using KubeArmor and eBPF
  • Built-in support for CSPM, CWPP, CSNS, KSPM—all tightly integrated
  • Agentless and agent-based deployment options for any environment
  • Supports public cloud, private cloud, and air-gapped infrastructure
  • Open-source foundation gives you transparency and flexibility

Whether you’re a cloud-native startup or a regulated enterprise, AccuKnox helps you secure your cloud with precision and control.

Getting Started with CNAPP

Not sure where to start? Here’s how you can begin your CNAPP journey:

  1. Assess your current cloud security posture
    Identify gaps in visibility, workload protection, and permissions.
  2. Explore AccuKnox’s unified platform
    See how CSPM, CWPP, CSNS, and KSPM work together in one interface.
  3. Deploy with flexibility
    Choose agentless or in-kernel enforcement depending on your needs.
  4. Implement Zero Trust runtime policies
    Automatically detect and block unauthorized behaviors in real time.
  5. Continuously monitor, audit, and improve
    Use rich analytics and compliance dashboards to evolve your security over time.

CNAPP Use Cases

  • Protect multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Secure containers, Kubernetes clusters, and VMs
  • Enforce least-privilege access across IAM roles
  • Meet compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS
  • Monitor and block zero-day attacks at runtime

CNAPP FAQs

A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is a unified security solution that consolidates CSPM, CWPP, KSPM, and ASPM into a single platform. It protects cloud-native applications across their entire lifecycle—from code to cloud to runtime—eliminating security blind spots by correlating findings across infrastructure, workloads, identities, and configurations.
The best CNAPP combines comprehensive coverage with runtime protection. Look for integrated CSPM, CWPP, KSPM, and ASPM; Zero Trust policy enforcement; multi-cloud support (AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises); continuous compliance monitoring; and real-time threat detection with inline mitigation.
AccuKnox differentiates through its CNCF open-source foundation (KubeArmor), eBPF-based runtime protection, and support for air-gapped deployments—capabilities many legacy vendors lack.
Start by enforcing least-privilege RBAC policies and implementing Kubernetes Identity & Entitlement Management (KIEM). Deploy network micro-segmentation to restrict pod-to-pod communication based on verified identity. Implement runtime security using LSMs and eBPF for Zero Trust enforcement at process, file, and network levels.
Enable continuous posture assessment against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks and establish admission controllers to block non-compliant workloads. A CNAPP with native Kubernetes support automates these controls through policy-as-code.
CNAPP pricing depends on cloud accounts connected, workloads protected, nodes managed, and modules enabled. Most vendors offer consumption-based models ranging from $15-50 per workload/month for posture management, scaling to $50-150+ for comprehensive runtime protection.
Consider the total value: consolidating 4-6 point solutions, reduced MTTR, compliance audit savings, and breach prevention ROI. AccuKnox provides custom quotes based on your specific environment.
Container security integrates across the CI/CD pipeline and runtime. At build phase, solutions connect with repositories (GitHub, GitLab) and CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Azure DevOps) to scan images before deployment. Registry integrations enable continuous scanning in ECR, ACR, and GCR.
For runtime, solutions deploy lightweight agents or use agentless scanning via cloud APIs to monitor EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters. Enterprise integrations extend to SIEM, ticketing, and SOAR platforms. AccuKnox supports both agent-based and agentless deployment with native integrations across major cloud platforms.
Zero Trust is built on five pillars: Identity Verification (authenticate every user, service, and device); Device Security (validate device health and compliance); Network Segmentation (micro-segmentation replacing perimeter security); Application & Workload Security (runtime controls enforcing allowed behaviors); and Data Protection (classify, encrypt, and control sensitive data access).
AccuKnox operationalizes these through automated Zero Trust policy generation, runtime enforcement via KubeArmor, and continuous compliance monitoring.
Top CNAPPs provide unified visibility, runtime protection, and automated remediation across the cloud-native stack. Key criteria include: comprehensive coverage beyond posture management; open-source transparency; support for public, private, and air-gapped deployments; inline mitigation (not just detection); drift detection; and deep integration with security workflows.
AccuKnox addresses all criteria with unique capabilities like auto-discovery of application behavior and 5G/Edge/IoT security support.
When evaluating Sysdig vs. Aqua, consider: runtime protection approach (kernel-level vs. agent-based); open-source CNCF involvement; CNAPP completeness (integrated ASPM, CSPM, CWPP, KSPM or add-ons required); air-gapped support for regulated industries; and inline mitigation vs. detection-only capabilities.
AccuKnox addresses gaps in both: CNCF leadership through KubeArmor, continuous detection with inline mitigation, comprehensive CNAPP coverage including ASPM, and full air-gapped environment support.
The best solution addresses the full container lifecycle. During build: image vulnerability scanning, secret detection, and SBOM generation in CI/CD pipelines. At deployment: admission controllers blocking non-compliant containers. At runtime: behavioral monitoring, Zero Trust enforcement, and threat detection with blocking.
For multi-cloud, ensure consistent policies across EKS, AKS, GKE, and on-premises Kubernetes. AccuKnox delivers these through its integrated CNAPP with native support for containerized, VM, and serverless workloads.
Prioritize vendors offering: unified multi-cloud visibility without separate deployments per cloud; consistent policy enforcement across all environments; native API integrations with each provider; pre-built compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CIS, NIST) mapping across multi-cloud assets; and deployment flexibility (SaaS, on-premises, hybrid).
AccuKnox provides validated multi-cloud security with deployment options including hyperscaler SaaS, on-premises, and air-gapped installations.
