Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP): CNAPP platforms apply multiple aspects of vulnerability management, compliance management, and endpoint detection to the cloud environment. A robust CNAPP platform should include:

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): CSPM solutions help organizations assess and manage their security posture in cloud environments. They identify misconfigurations, non-standard deployments, compliance violations, and security risks, enabling organizations to remediate issues and strengthen their security posture.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): IaC solutions detect and remediate security problems within IaC templates, helping organizations address potential security threats to the cloud infrastructure.
Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), also known as Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs): CWPPs focus on securing cloud environments, virtual machines, containers, and serverless workloads. They provide capabilities such as vulnerability management, runtime protection, and workload integrity monitoring to defend against threats targeting cloud-based assets.
SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM): SSPM solutions automate the management of SaaS apps, offering visibility into SaaS applications and enabling organizations to manage their security and compliance posture.
Cloud Detection and Response (CDR): CDR solutions offer real-time threat detection and response to known and unknown threats.
Kubernetes and Container Security (KSC): KCS solutions empower organizations to discover, track, and secure Kubernetes and containers.

Identity and Access Management (IAM) Solutions: IAM solutions help organizations manage user identities and access rights in cloud environments. They enforce authentication and authorization policies, manage user privileges, and facilitate single sign-on (SSO) to streamline access management across cloud services.
Encryption and Key Management Services: Encryption and key management services protect data stored in cloud environments by encrypting sensitive information and managing encryption keys. These services help organizations maintain control over their data and ensure confidentiality, even in the event of a security breach.
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Solutions: SIEM solutions aggregate and analyze security event data from cloud-based logs and resources. They help organizations detect and respond to security incidents in real time, providing visibility into threats and enabling rapid incident response.
Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs): CASBs help organizations enforce security policies and controls for cloud-based applications and services. They provide visibility into cloud usage, control access to cloud resources, and detect and respond to security threats.
