Frost Radar™: Cloud-native Application Protection Platforms

Cloud computing is becoming the norm in the business environment with a variety of cloud models and services available. The accelerated migration to the cloud has enabled businesses to embrace their digital transformation journey and simplify their IT infrastructure and operations.

The use of cloud computing is transforming the application development life cycle, security operations, and the way organizations build, operate, and manage back-end infrastructure and front-end, customerfacing applications with cloud-native technologies such as containers/Kubernetes, serverless, infrastructure as code (IaC), and other continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platforms for cloud management, application, development, and deployment. 

With a more intense focus on cloud-native application development technologies, organizations are shifting from a traditional monolithic application development model to a microservice architecture and containerized approach using more open-source dependencies and libraries.
