In our previous post, we explored the essentials of cloud detection and response (CDR), highlighting how the cloud's scale and complexity have transformed cybersecurity needs. We discussed the types of threats unique to the cloud and the broad benefits that CDR systems offer to organizations aiming to secure their cloud environments. This follow-up takes us deeper into some of the challenges that arise with detecting and responding to threats in the cloud. As we consider these challenges, we’ll highlight how CDR, while essential, is just part of what must be a broader, comprehensive cloud-native security strategy. As we do this, we’ll see how the cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) plays a role alongside your CDR.
