Worldwide Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform Forecast, 2024–2028


This IDC study presents a five-year forecast for the worldwide cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) market, formerly known as cloud workload security (CWS). As such, market fundamentals such as shift-left security including cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) and cloud security posture management (CSPM) are now part and parcel with shield-right tools including cloud workload protection platform (CWPP). The ability to correlate and prioritize this data along with threat intelligence feeds — all of which may rest on top of a security lake, and most recently paired with a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) digital assistant — provides organizations with the right level of visibility and contextualization to optimize their environments security controls and improve both the cloud builders and cloud defenders' efficiency."Since 2020, the security industry has promoted the consolidation of vendors and tools. The talent gap, siloed teams, digital transformation, compliance mandates, risk assessment, inflationary pressures and, now more recently, GenAI have necessitated such a move. A long-held belief that cloud security posture management and cloud workload protection platform were two sides of the same coin reflected efforts to simplify the number of tools and resulting acronyms that lead to complexity. The term CNAPP expands on this principle and realizes the fundamental promise of a platform — simplicity," says Philip Bues, senior research manager, Cloud Security at IDC.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
