Gartner’s 2023 CNAPP Market Guide

Gartner released the first Market Guide for Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP). This means that CNAPP is here to stay, and its rapid evolution over the past few years will likely continue, especially as tools are unified and siloes are eliminated.
In case you’re just joining the conversation, the establishment of a CNAPP market guide is a milestone for cloud security, signaling an end to niche cloud security tools meant to solve specific problems (CWPP, CSPM, CIEM, etc). As the market matures, these functions are being unified into a single platform: CNAPP.
