About this analyst report
Gartner shares how modern CNAPPs require SOC integration.
The era of standalone cloud-native application protection platforms has come to an end. For the first time ever, Gartner® identified deep SOC integration as a key capability that distinguishes mature CNAPPs from less-effective, first-generation offerings.
"Integration with other common tools, such as server endpoint protection tools and on-premises cloud and orchestration platforms, as well as integration with SIEM/SOAR/TDIR/SOC platforms" is now recognized as a common CNAPP feature, according to Gartner 2025 analysis.
The 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms provides recommendations and market analysis for organizations selecting CNAPP solutions in the age of cloud security and security operations convergence.
Our key takeaways from this report:
- Understand the integration imperative driving CNAPP evolution beyond isolated cloud security tools.
- Learn about the collaboration shift where security operations teams work closely with developers and cloud architects.
- Explore essential platform connections between CNAPPs and existing SIEM/SOAR/TDIR/SOC infrastructure.
- Discover vendor consolidation trends and how recognized providers are building comprehensive integration capabilities.
- Analyze recognized vendors and their offerings in this transformed CNAPP market landscape.
