Reduce their mean time to respond by 76 %, cut active vulnerabilities by up to 98 %, and give back 10 hours per person each month. stays protected. When framed this way, a CNAPP that provides deep runtime visibility isn’ t just a security investment, but a business accelerator.
There is a growing need for cross-team collaboration between developers, security and operations. What strategies have you found most effective in breaking down silos and embedding security seamlessly into DevOps workflows?
The key to cross-team collaboration is first ensuring that everyone is working from the same source of truth. Developers want clear, actionable fixes, security teams want visibility into real risk and operations teams want stability. Too often, though, they’ re working from fragmented data and conflicting priorities. The key, from what we’ ve seen at Sysdig, is embedding security directly into developers’ workflows, meeting engineers where they are by bringing prioritised, validated issues into their workflow in natural, low-friction ways, and using AI to provide clarity into what matters most.
It’ s also important for tools to present data in a way that’ s usable for both the security and developer teams. For example, our platform maps vulnerabilities to what’ s actually running in production, so developers know which issues to fix first and security knows how those fixes actually reduce their exposure. AI can also tailor solutions by being aware of application behavior and performance, making context-specific recommendations. This shifts the handoff from just throwing issues over a wall to true collaboration with security integrated as part of the natural development and operations flow.
The report notes an overlap between CNAPP and Application Security Testing. Do you see a future where CNAPP replaces traditional tools, or will they coexist?
Whereas application security testing tools are important in the build phase, CNAPP extends protection across the full application life cycle. Application Security Testing( AST) findings flow into CNAPP platforms as a data source, and what we’ ve begun to see is CNAPP becoming the common language across development, security and operations. CNAPP has become central for capabilities and production environments where runtime context is key. For instance, CNAPP runtime insights equip security teams to prioritise vulnerabilities more effectively than static testing alone, reduce dwell time, accelerate remediation and protect innovation velocity.
Over time, traditional tools that don’ t integrate with cloud-native workflows will continue to fade
