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.
