The report captures market insights around container and cloud-native adoption and highlights the need for advanced security and observation capabilities
SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2022 / PRNewswire/ – Tigeraprovider of cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) and creator of Project Calico, today released the findings of its first The State of Cloud-Native Security market report. The report presents key insights from security and IT professionals around the world, shedding light on the opportunities and challenges faced by businesses in container and cloud-native applications, with a particular focus on security, observation, and compliance.
The growth in cloud-native workloads has jumped in tandem with the rapid digitalization caused by the pandemic and the need for more agile, powerful development tools. By 2025, Gartner estimates that more than 95% of new digital workloads will be deployed on cloud-native platforms, up from 30% in 2021. This trend can be seen in the new Tigera report, which found that 75% of companies focuses on developing cloud-native applications. The increased development and deployment of cloud-native applications also creates a need for more advanced observation and security capabilities.
“Organizations are just beginning to unlock the potential of cloud-native applications,” said Ratan Tipirneni, President and CEO, Tigera. “At the same time, however, these unprecedented innovations have created unexpected challenges – which most IT professionals have identified who have named security as a top challenge when it comes to application deployment cycles. cloud-native.At Tigera, we are proud to provide today’s developers, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and security teams with the solutions they need for full-stack observability for containers, Kubernetes, and the cloud, and we’re committed listening to our users and developing products to meet their needs. “

Cloud-Native Security Solution Adoption in 2022
Using tools that increase visibility and provide security at the container, application, and network levels can help enterprises address cloud-native security, including threat prevention by reducing application attack surface; threat detection by monitoring for both known and unknown threats; and threat mitigation by quickly resolving risks from exposure. These tools eliminate barriers and delays during development and deployment while also reducing the risk of market time delays, security vulnerabilities, and compliance violations.
In accordance with market needs, the Tigera’s recent updates to Calico Cloud deliver a complete unified solution for active cloud-native application security at the build, deploy, and runtime stages. Calico Cloud is built for cloud-native architecture, maintenance and operation of infrastructure-as-code. Using its integrated policy engine, Calico Cloud mitigates the risk of exposure by deploying corrective security policies as code that can alert, pause, quarantine, or terminate pods. These native extensions enable security and observability-as-code for easy and consistent implementation in environments.
