“To be recognized as a leader in the industry’s first comprehensive global evaluation of the CNAPP market is an honor,” said Ankur Shah, senior vice president, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto Networks. “Multiple point solutions deployed alongside each other is no longer an effective approach to secure cloud applications. As companies increasingly move to the cloud, they need a unified approach that can address every stage of the application lifecycle. Continually anticipating our customers’ needs has allowed us to create an award-winning cloud security platform designed to support every organization, regardless of where they are in their cloud journey.”

According to the report: “Prisma Cloud is one of the most comprehensive and marketable CNAPP platforms, providing full security stack protection for cloud environments, including DevOps security, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), serverless security, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) and Cloud Network Security and Segmentation (CNWS).” Additionally, Frost & Sullivan expects Palo Alto Networks to “become the largest CNAPP vendor in terms of revenue in the next 1-3 years.”

“As a leading CNAPP provider, Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud equips organizations with the necessary capabilities to secure the entire application lifecycle from code to cloud,” said Anh Tien Vu, Industry Principal, Cybersecurity, at Frost & Sullivan. “Organizations are advised to adopt an integrated platform that provides in-depth visibility and continuous threat prevention to combat rising cloud attacks, and Palo Alto Networks is one of the few vendors in the market that can provide these capabilities with its comprehensive cloud security platform.”
