A cloud-native application is specifically created to operate seamlessly within a cloud environment, taking advantage of cloud infrastructure and services to achieve top-notch performance, adaptability, and reliability. They use microservices instead of monolithic structures, allowing independent development and deployment. Microservices are hosted in containers, providing a lightweight and portable runtime environment.
The AWS cloud platform is one of the most used cloud platforms in the world. It gives companies a level of flexibility with its myriad of uses but it is not without its own challenges, namely, maintaining security.
Since a lot of our customers build and run their applications in AWS, our partnership and joint solution delivery with AWS provides enormous value. We’re excited to share that we’ve deepened our ties to AWS in two compelling ways, by achieving AWS WAF Ready Status and earning AWS Security Competency. Salt is the first and only API security company in both of these vital AWS programs.
Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms – or CNAPP solutions – are steadily gaining traction as the best solutions to address Cloud Native security. Regardless of your cloud adoption maturity (whether you’re PoC-ing some services in the cloud, running a few applications, or fully embracing this new era), We’re sure you have likely already noticed that cloud-native security is different from IT-managed data center security. But how exactly is it different?
Today you look at the Global/Multi-site Enterprise Security Architecture of an organization and see a myriad of concerns. Increased levels of complexity, difficulties managing multiple third parties, difficulties implementing consistent levels of security, and so on. This makes it imperative for organizations to identify opportunities to simplify, streamline, and generally improve their infrastructure wherever possible. Managing the level of complexity is becoming increasingly difficult.
As businesses increasingly embrace cloud computing to enhance their operations, the need for robust cybersecurity measures becomes paramount. Traditional cybersecurity approaches often fall short in protecting cloud environments against ever-evolving cyber threats. This is why today we are excited to announce that we are expanding our CleanINTERNET® service to the cloud.
