Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)
CyberGrid implements cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP) that unify posture management, workload protection, container security and identity entitlements, so teams get one prioritised view of cloud risk across AWS, Azure and GCP.
Also searched as: cloud security posture management, CSPM, CWPP, cloud workload protection
What CNAPP does
CNAPP combines cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection (CWPP), container and Kubernetes security, and infrastructure-as-code scanning.
It correlates misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and excessive permissions to show which issues are actually exploitable.
What CyberGrid delivers
- Cloud account onboarding and baseline posture assessment
- Policy mapping to your compliance requirements
- Workload, container and pipeline integration
- Prioritised remediation plan
- Continuous monitoring with SOC-backed alerting
Who it is for
- Companies running workloads in more than one cloud
- Teams adopting containers, Kubernetes or serverless
- Organisations facing cloud compliance audits
We serve organisations across India and support customers globally, with offices in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Trivandrum.
How we deliver CNAPP
1. Cloud footprint discovery
We connect read-only to your AWS, Azure and GCP accounts to inventory workloads, containers, storage, identities and network exposure, and establish a baseline of current risk.
2. Platform selection
We match a CNAPP to your cloud mix and engineering workflow, covering posture management, workload and container protection, and identity entitlement analysis.
3. Prioritisation
Findings are ranked by real exposure, for example a public workload with a critical vulnerability and excessive permissions, so teams fix what matters first instead of working through thousands of alerts.
4. Integration with engineering
Alerts go to the tools teams already use, and policy checks are added to infrastructure-as-code and build pipelines so misconfigurations are caught before deployment.
5. Continuous monitoring and reporting
We track posture over time, review drift, and report against the frameworks you are measured on.
What to look for when choosing
Agent or agentless
Agentless scanning gives fast coverage with little overhead. Agents add runtime visibility. Many environments use both.
Alert prioritisation
The difference between a useful and a noisy CNAPP is how well it connects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and permissions into attack paths.
Developer fit
Tools that surface issues in code repositories and pipelines are adopted faster than those that only report after deployment.
Multi-cloud coverage
Confirm the platform covers every cloud and Kubernetes distribution you run, not just the largest one.
Compliance alignment
Cloud posture reports can be mapped to CIS benchmarks, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and DPDP Act safeguards, giving you evidence of configuration controls over your cloud estate.
Common scenarios
A fast-growing cloud estate
New accounts and services appear faster than security can review them. A CNAPP gives continuous visibility and flags risky settings.
Container and Kubernetes security
Image scanning and runtime checks catch vulnerable or misconfigured containers before and after deployment.
Over-permissioned identities
Entitlement analysis shows accounts and roles with far more access than they use, so permissions can be reduced safely.
Mistakes to avoid
- Treating every alert equally. Prioritise by exploitability and exposure, or teams drown in findings.
- Scanning only after deployment. Add checks to code and pipelines so problems are fixed where they start.
- No clear owner for fixes. Assign findings to the team that owns the resource, with deadlines.
Frequently asked questions
What is CNAPP?
CNAPP is a platform that combines several cloud security capabilities, including posture management, workload protection and entitlement management, into one tool.
How is CNAPP different from CSPM?
CSPM focuses on misconfiguration in cloud accounts. CNAPP adds workload, container and pipeline protection and correlates findings.
Does CNAPP work across AWS, Azure and GCP?
Yes, multi-cloud coverage is a core purpose of CNAPP platforms.
What is the difference between CNAPP and CSPM?
CSPM checks cloud configuration for misconfigurations. CNAPP includes CSPM and adds workload and container protection, vulnerability management and identity analysis in one platform.
Do we need to install agents on every workload?
Not necessarily. Agentless scanning gives broad visibility quickly. We add agents only where runtime protection justifies it.
