Cloud Investigation and Response Automation (CIRA) is a technology that leverages advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and automation to enhance the detection, investigation, and response to security incidents within cloud environments. It provides real-time insights into potential threats, automates the collection and analysis of forensic data, and uses machine learning (ML) algorithms for proactive threat detection. CIRA tools integrate seamlessly with existing Security Operations (SecOps) technologies to improve an organization’s overall security posture.
Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) are a unified and tightly integrated set of security and compliance capabilities, designed to protect cloud-native infrastructure and applications. CNAPPs incorporate an integrated set of proactive and reactive security capabilities, including artifact scanning, security guardrails, configuration and compliance management, risk detection and prioritization, and behavioral analytics, providing visibility, governance and control from code creation to production runtime. CNAPP solutions use a combination of API integrations with leading cloud platform providers, continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD) pipeline integrations, and agent and agentless workload integration to offer combined development and runtime security coverage.
Cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) is focused on enabling security teams to overcome asset visibility and exposure challenges. It enables organizations to see all assets (internal and external), primarily through API integrations with existing tools, query consolidated data, identify the scope of vulnerabilities and gaps in security controls. These tools then continuously monitor and analyze detected vulnerabilities to drill down the most critical threats to the business and prioritize necessary remediation and mitigation actions for improved cyber security.
