Cloud Native Application Security – Lifting Zero Trust into the Clouds

Agencies have invested heavily in migrating applications to the cloud and creating cloud-native applications to serve the public. Securing these applications has emerged as a primary objective, particularly in incorporating them into a zero trust architecture.

Strengthening app security focuses on integrating security measures throughout the application lifecycle – from development to deployment – by using cloud-native technologies such as containers, microservices, and fixed infrastructure to protect against threats faced uniquely in the cloud while maintaining agility and scalability. It is easier to build security into the app from the beginning than to add it as an afterthought.
