Security News > 2021 > May > Cloud native adoption increasing security concerns

Cloud native adoption has both transformed the way organizations build modern applications and resulted in increased security threats and concerns, according to a research by Snyk.

More than half of companies surveyed experienced a security incident due to misconfiguration or a known vulnerability in their cloud native applications.

60% of respondents have increased security concerns since adopting cloud native.

Developers today require solutions that enable them to build security into the whole application - from code and open source to containers and cloud infrastructure, and they now have the opportunity to take on a pivotal security leadership position within their organizations as their role evolves to take on greater authority and autonomy.

Adopting a broader and deeper approach to cybersecurity by embedding security tools and best practices throughout the software development lifecycle is the make or break factor in achieving cloud native application security success.

Report findings demonstrate that companies with high levels of cloud native automation also have greater adoption of security testing.
