Cloud security is more critical—and more complex—than ever. Organizations are overwhelmed by sprawling toolsets, disjointed solutions, and countless alerts highlighting what’s wrong without offering actionable solutions. The result? Security teams struggle to prioritize true risks, streamline compliance, and effectively manage cloud environments.
This is where Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) come in. CNAPPs offer a unified security approach designed to address the root challenges of modern cloud security environments. But what sets a CNAPP apart? And how can organizations unlock the CNAPP’s full potential?

A CNAPP integrates multiple cloud security functionalities—like cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection platforms (CPWP), application detection and response (ADR), and others—into a single, unified platform. The goal is to simplify security management, reduce risk, and provide actionable insights in real-time.
Unlike traditional point solutions that operate in silos, a CNAPP creates a unified security context, enabling organizations to see the bigger picture.
A leading example of a CNAPP is Wiz. Wiz exemplifies the ideal CNAPP model by seamlessly combining essential capabilities across its core offerings:
Wiz Cloud: The heart of the platform, providing visibility and governance across multi-cloud environments.
Wiz Code: Focusing on securing applications during development by embedding security early in the CI/CD pipeline.
Wiz Defend: Equipping organizations with the tools to detect and respond to threats in real-time.
Together, these elements tell a powerful code-to-cloud security story, addressing every phase of the application and cloud lifecycle.
As a CNAPP, Wiz doesn’t just deliver features—it solves critical problems that plague cloud security teams.
Wiz Graph: Every feature in Wiz operates under a single security narrative, connecting the dots between workloads, applications, and cloud infrastructure. The key here is to connect disparate findings and offer not just a single pane of glass, but a single unified security context called the Wiz Graph.
Simplified Usability: Wiz’s best-in-class UI ensures security teams can act without wasting time deciphering complex dashboards. UI/UX is paramount to their culture of success.
Action-Oriented Insights: With actionable remediation steps, Wiz moves beyond identifying risks, enabling teams to respond in real time and prevent future issues. The single context allows for unified actions to address holistic problems, not just individual findings.
Intentional Growth: While growing through acquisition, Wiz rebuilds the target capabilities from the ground up, ensuring every feature is a first-class citizen in the platform. Remember, a single pane of glass is not the goal; it needs to be part of the security context.
Time-to-Value: Customers see results immediately after connecting to Wiz, making it a solution that delivers impact from day one.
