CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) is a comprehensive, agentless cloud security platform designed to simplify and strengthen cloud-native application security. Combining the capabilities of CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management), CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platforms), and CIEM (Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management) into a unified solution, CNAPP offers end-to-end visibility across cloud infrastructure, workloads, identities, and data.
Delivered as a SaaS service by NTT DATA and powered by Orca Security, CNAPP continuously scans and analyzes cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It detects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, malware, exposed secrets, and compliance gaps—without installing a single agent. CNAPP also integrates “shift-left” security to detect risks earlier in the software development lifecycle.
With Orca’s SideScanning™ technology, CNAPP gathers insights from workloads and cloud configurations, builds a context-rich security model, and presents actionable alerts with minimal false positives. From vulnerability management to malware detection, identity hygiene to API security, CNAPP delivers deep cloud intelligence and risk prioritization from a single pane of glass—empowering security teams to take preemptive action, ensure compliance, and defend against cloud-native threats effectively.
Key Features
Agentless Cloud Security: No need for agents or sidecars—gain full visibility using patented SideScanning™ technology.
Vulnerability Management: Detect known vulnerabilities across workloads, containers, and serverless functions with contextual risk scoring.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Continuously monitor and remediate misconfigurations using over 2,000 controls across 80+ frameworks.
Malware Detection: Identify threats across active and idle workloads, including orphaned and paused systems, without performance impact.
Lateral Movement Risk Analysis: Map potential attack paths and identify how seemingly low-level issues could be exploited together.
Data Security Posture Management (DSPM): Discover and classify sensitive data (PII, PHI, etc.) at risk in cloud storage, VMs, and containers.
Shift Left Security: Scan Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates, container images, and repositories to detect risks early in development.
Cloud Detection & Response (CDR): Correlate behavioral events and log data with existing vulnerabilities to detect active threats in real time.
API Security: Discover unmanaged APIs and prioritize vulnerabilities within cloud-native API environments.
Integrated Compliance: Out-of-the-box support for PCI-DSS, GDPR, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and 40+ other frameworks.
