Summary

The article discusses the evolution of Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP) from basic visibility tools to context-aware risk reduction systems. It highlights how Microsoft's approach aligns with leading cloud risk management platforms by helping security teams correlate signals, prioritize exploitable exposures, and reduce risk across multicloud environments, Kubernetes, APIs, and AI-powered workloads. The key challenge addressed is moving beyond identifying individual risks to understanding which combinations of vulnerabilities, identities, and data exposures are most critical.
