CloudDefense.AI Featured in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for CNAPPs

PALO ALTO, CA, UNITED STATES, July 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- We are excited to announce that CloudDefense.AI has been recognized in the latest KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs). This prestigious acknowledgment reflects our commitment to delivering a comprehensive and unified approach to cloud and application security-designed to meet the complex needs of today’s modern enterprises.

The KuppingerCole Leadership Compass provides an in-depth analysis of emerging markets, evaluating vendors based on product capabilities, innovation, and market reach. This year’s CNAPP edition focuses on how platforms are evolving to support full lifecycle protection-from code to cloud-with particular attention to GenAI security, data protection, and workload runtime analysis.

With the CNAPP market forecasted to reach $13.72 billion in 2025 and grow at 20% annually, organizations are under mounting pressure to consolidate fragmented security tools into a single, intelligent platform. CloudDefense.AI’s inclusion as a Challenger underscores our unique strengths in bridging DevSecOps and cloud-native security through a powerful combination of SAST, DAST, SCA, CSPM, CIEM, and more.

KuppingerCole highlighted CloudDefense.AI’s innovative External Attack Surface Management (EASM) feature, Hacker Recon™, which mimics real-world attacker behavior to uncover and prioritize exposures. The report also praised our deep CI/CD integrations, automated entitlement analysis, and comprehensive visibility across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud environments. These capabilities make CloudDefense.AI especially effective for companies seeking agile, API-first security solutions that can scale with development pipelines.

As cloud environments become increasingly dynamic and data-sensitive, our mission remains clear-deliver real-time protection, reduce risk noise through precision analytics, and empower security teams with full-stack visibility.

If you’re navigating the shift to unified cloud-native security, CloudDefense.AI is the platform built to evolve with you.
