"The security landscape for cloud-native applications is undergoing a profound transformation. Containers, Kubernetes, and serverless technologies are now the default for modern enterprises, accelerating delivery but also expanding the attack surface in ways traditional security models can't keep up with. As adoption grows, so does complexity. Security teams are asked to monitor sprawling hybrid environments, sift through thousands of alerts, and protect dynamic applications that evolve multiple times per day."
"They identify theoretical risks, but not whether those risks are active and exploitable in production. Runtime visibility fills that gap. By observing what workloads are actually running - and how they behave - security teams gain the highest fidelity signal for prioritizing threats. Runtime context answers critical questions: Is this vulnerability reachable in a live workload? Is this misconfiguration creating a real attack path? Is this workload being exploited right now?"
Cloud-native adoption of containers, Kubernetes, and serverless accelerates delivery while expanding attack surfaces beyond traditional security capabilities. Security teams must monitor sprawling hybrid environments, handle thousands of alerts, and protect applications that change multiple times per day. Cloud-native application protection platforms consolidate visibility, compliance, detection, and response into unified systems. Runtime visibility provides the highest-fidelity signal by observing running workloads and behavior, revealing whether vulnerabilities are reachable, misconfigurations create attack paths, or workloads are being exploited. Runtime enables prioritization of active threats, reduces noise from false positives, and focuses remediation on issues that decrease real exposure.
