Market Research
As in the previous years, the threat landscape and nature of cyber attacks evolved rapidly in 2023. Changing enterprise and working trends that kickstarted with the pandemic continued to bring complexity, operational challenges, and security concerns for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) throughout 2023.
Frost & Sullivan’s Cybersecurity Research Team developed this annual compendium to help CISOs in every industry understand the key issues relating to a range of security solutions. Takeaways from this compendium will help organizations determine which solutions most closely meet their business needs and provide practical insight to support vendor selection.
The compendium features:
• Practical advice to enhance the security posture and select vendors
• Key trends and developments across several security solution areas that Frost & Sullivan research covers
• An understanding of the threat landscape and vulnerabilities organizations are exposed to
• Main cybersecurity trends for 2024

The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Cloud-native Application Protection Platform Market
Transformative Mega Trends
Why:
- Cloud computing is increasingly a business norm, with industry verticals utilizing various cloud models and services to modernize legacy systems.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated migration to the cloud and enabled businesses to embrace the digital transformation journey, helping them transform and simplify their IT infrastructure and operations to enhance business outcomes.
Frost Perspective:
- Increased cloud computing adoption transforms how businesses invest in IT infrastructure, the ADLC, and security operations (SecOps).
- As legacy security models are no longer adequate, companies seek cloud-native security solutions, such as CNAPPs, cloud workload protection platforms (CWPPs), and cloud security posture management (CSPM), to protect their workload and other assets in the cloud. Transition to these systems will likely surge globally over the next 5 years.
Competitive Intensity
Why:
- Economic uncertainty and geopolitical crises, such as the Russia-Ukraine War, the US-China trade war, and the Israel-Palestine conflict, are shaping cloud security's competitive landscape, causing global organizations to reduce spending on IT and security projects.
- CNAPP vendors must lower prices, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), and help organizations achieve more. To remain competitive, vendors must adapt operations to meet these challenges and improve user experience. The intense market pressure calls for increased efficiency, cost-effective solutions, and an emphasis on meeting evolving customer needs.
Frost Perspective:
- More organizations will transition to the cloud to reduce capital expenditure and improve business operation outcomes. Moving to cloud will create new opportunities for the cloud security market, as the need for risk management and data/application protection shifts from on-premises/traditional data center environments to the cloud.
- As the viability of traditional security/service prices, cloud security solutions will become more mainstream, making them more popular in the next 3 to 5 years.
Disruptive Technologies
Why:
- Container/Kubernetes (K8s) technologies and serverless computing are changing application deployment strategies, enabling organizations the flexibility to design, develop, test, and launch applications in the market, enhancing customer experience.
- However, new technologies require a novel approach toward application security (AppSec), as the traditional monolithic application architecture is no longer adequate.
Frost Perspective:
- Demand for a loosely coupled application architecture with a microsegmentation principle is high; making legacy security outdated, as it does not support microsegmentation and cannot keep pace with application changes, particularly in container and serverless environments.
- Businesses globally will shift investments from perimeter-based security to cloud-native security technologies to protect cloud-native applications.

Cloud Workload Protection Platform: Definition
CWPP, normally agent-based, is a server workload-centric security solution to protect computing workloads in cloud environments (i.e., private, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud) from cybersecurity risks and attacks regardless of the workload’s location. Typical workloads that CWPP secures include cloud hosts, VMs, containers, K8s, databases (e.g., SQL and NoSQL), and APIs.
CWPP capabilities include detection and prevention of threats to the host, VMs, containers at runtime, container image vulnerability management, micro-segmentation of workloads across networks, micro-services and API levels, management of serverless permission, compliance checks, workload assurance maintenance, and run-time forensics analysis and incident response for workloads.
Cloud Workload Protection Layers
DevOps Protection Layer
• Protection at this layer ensures no vulnerabilities and misconfiguration issues are present in the development environment.
• Capabilities include the following:
- Automated hypervisor monitoring (private cloud)
- Automated workload discovering, tagging, and visibility
- Automated workload misconfiguration detection
Inside Workload Protection Layer
• This layer protects workloads from cyberthreats inside workloads, preventing collateral damage, exploitation, and file/system tempering.
• Capabilities include the following:
- Network security that performs workload firewalling, segmentation, encryption/decryption, and visibility
- SIM/FIM
- Application control
- Memory protection
Outside Workload Protection Layer
• This layer’s capabilities run independently outside the workload to protect workloads from external threats.
• Capabilities include the following:
- Host-based intrusion prevention systems (HIPS)
- AV capabilities
- Malware protection
- Server workload endpoint detection and response (EDR)
- Workload behavior monitoring/profiling
