Protect container images, Kubernetes clusters and cloud workloads across AWS, Azure and GCP, from the first commit through to live runtime — so security keeps pace with how often your teams ship, instead of catching up after release.
Perimeter tools were built for servers that stayed where you put them. Once the estate is containers, clusters and cloud accounts, five things change at once.
Containers start in seconds and are replaced on every deploy. Any control that depends on a periodic scan or a change-review cycle is describing an estate that no longer exists.
Vulnerable base images, over-permissive RBAC and missing network policy are defaults you inherit rather than choices you made — and they usually surface only once something is already running.
Over-privileged IAM roles and service accounts, secrets left in source or environment variables, and settings that drift apart between accounts. None of it has to be exploited to be exposure.
Posture in one console, workload alerts in another, registry findings in a third. Nobody can answer what is running, where it is exposed and which issue to take first.
A CVE list does not say which image is actually running in production, reachable and privileged. Without that link, teams patch by score rather than by exposure.
Cloud native security is the practice of protecting containerised applications, Kubernetes clusters, microservices and cloud workloads across their whole lifecycle — from a developer commit through to production runtime.
It differs from traditional security in where it sits. Perimeter controls assume long-lived servers and a network edge; cloud native security is embedded in CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration and cloud APIs, because the workloads it protects are ephemeral and defined as code.
The NetNXT platform covers container image scanning, Kubernetes policy enforcement, IaC scanning, runtime threat detection, identity and access governance, and continuous compliance across AWS, Azure and GCP. Where you want those functions consolidated into one product view, that is what a CNAPP provides — CSPM, CWPP and CIEM together.
This platform is built for teams whose infrastructure is already containers, clusters and cloud accounts. If one of these describes your estate, the fit is straightforward.
EKS, AKS, GKE or self-managed clusters in production, where admission control, RBAC and network policy decide the blast radius of a single mistake.
Teams shipping daily on cloud infrastructure, carrying customer security reviews and audits that expect evidence rather than assurances.
Workloads spread across AWS, Azure and GCP, where each provider's native tooling stops at its own boundary and the gaps between them go unwatched.
Security that has to live inside GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins or ArgoCD, and fail a build when it should without becoming the reason releases slip.
Accountable for cloud workloads they did not deploy, and needing runtime signal they can triage rather than another queue of unranked findings.
Working to PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 or CIS benchmarks, where posture has to be evidenced continuously rather than reconstructed before an audit.
Six areas of coverage under one policy engine and one view, following a workload from the code that defines it to the process running in production.
What each area of the platform does, from hardening an image at build time to detecting a live threat inside a running cluster.
Vulnerability scanning of container images, secrets detection, image signing and verification, and runtime policy enforcement. Stop insecure containers before they reach production and protect your cloud data security at the source. Covers Docker, OCI, and all major container registries.
Admission control policies, RBAC validation, network segmentation, and continuous configuration auditing for EKS, AKS, GKE, and self-managed clusters. The foundation of enterprise cloud native network security and Kubernetes compliance at scale.
Shift-left security embedded into CI/CD pipelines — automated scans, policy gates, and developer guardrails in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and ArgoCD. Accelerate delivery without sacrificing your cloud native application security posture.
Continuous behavioural analysis of running containers and workloads. Our cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) capabilities detect process anomalies, file integrity violations, and lateral movement in real time — with sub-second threat detection and automated incident response.
Scan Terraform, Helm charts, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests for misconfigurations before they reach production. Policy-as-code enforcement catches insecure infrastructure definitions in the developer's IDE or CI pipeline — eliminating entire categories of cloud security risks at source.
Prioritised CVE remediation across base images, OS packages, and application dependencies. Reduce cloud security risks with risk-scored findings that factor in exploitability and business impact — not just raw CVSS scores — with SLA-driven remediation tracking.
Automated checks against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, CIS Docker Benchmarks, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST CSF across your entire cloud estate. Maintain audit-ready posture continuously — evidence generated automatically.
Monitor and control east-west traffic between microservices. Apply micro-segmentation, security group analysis, and network threat detection to prevent lateral movement across your multi-cloud Kubernetes environments.
Six steps from connecting an account to running the service day to day. Onboarding follows the same order.
Agentless and agent-based deployment across AWS, Azure and GCP, plus your clusters, registries and pipelines. It runs on the infrastructure you already have.
An inventory of what is actually running: clusters, nodes, containers, images and workloads, with the identities and network paths attached to them.
Posture and vulnerability assessment against CIS benchmarks and your compliance scope, from IaC templates and base images through to workloads in production.
Findings are risk-scored on exploitability and business impact rather than raw CVSS, so the remediation queue reflects real exposure instead of severity counts.
Policy gates in CI/CD, admission control at deploy time, and runtime enforcement on live workloads — the same policy applied at each point it can be enforced.
Continuous runtime monitoring with automated incident response and workload containment, and 24/7 SOC escalation where you take the managed service.
The same policy is enforced at the three points where it can be: before an image is built, before a workload is admitted, and while it runs.
Problems are cheapest to fix before an image exists.
Nothing reaches a cluster unless it meets the policy you set.
Live workloads are watched, and containment does not wait for a ticket.
What the platform secures in each kind of environment, whether that is a cluster, a pipeline, an API layer or a regulated workload.
Admission control, RBAC validation and network segmentation across EKS, AKS, GKE and self-managed clusters, with image scanning and signing before anything is admitted.
Unified cloud native security policies across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Single-pane-of-glass visibility — eliminating blind spots between cloud providers and on-premises Kubernetes clusters.
Service mesh integration, east-west traffic inspection, and API gateway security for distributed architectures. Stop lateral movement across cloud native applications at the network layer.
Automated DevSecOps security testing in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and ArgoCD. Developer guardrails that catch issues before code ships — without slowing delivery teams down.
Continuous compliance mapping for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, and FedRAMP across containerised environments. Automated evidence generation for audits.
Detect and respond to cloud security attacks — cryptomining, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and supply chain compromise — before they cause damage. Automated containment in under 60 seconds for critical incidents.
The criteria that come up most often in evaluations, and where this platform stands on each.
Containers, clusters, workloads and microservices in one dashboard. Know what is running, where it is exposed, and what is at risk in real time across every cloud.
The same workload is followed from an IaC template and a base image through to the process running in production, so a finding carries its context instead of restarting at each stage.
Admission control, RBAC, network policy and KSPM across managed and self-managed clusters — not container scanning treated as an add-on to a server product.
One policy framework across AWS native security services, Azure, and Google Cloud Security environments. Consistent enforcement — no cloud-specific rules to maintain separately.
Automated security checks integrate into your pipeline without adding latency. Developers stay unblocked; security stays in control. Shift left without slowing down.
Pre-built compliance packs for CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and more. Your cloud native workloads are audit-ready continuously — not scrambled together before a review.
Move from reactive firefighting to proactive posture management. Findings are ranked on exploitability and business impact, so the highest-exposure issue is the one in front of you.
Run it yourself, or hand day-to-day operation to our cloud security managed services team. The platform and the policy set do not change either way.
As CTO I needed managed threat detection that could keep pace with our multi-cloud footprint without adding headcount. NetNXT's MDR was live across AWS and Azure quickly, and the escalations that reach us are the ones that matter.
Not ready to manage it in-house? Our cloud security managed services team runs the platform for you, and the policy set does not change when they do.
Cloud native security is the practice of protecting containerised applications, Kubernetes clusters, microservices, and cloud workloads throughout their entire lifecycle — from developer commit to production runtime. Unlike traditional perimeter security, it is embedded directly into CI/CD pipelines and container orchestration layers. It covers container image scanning, Kubernetes policy enforcement, IaC scanning, runtime threat detection, and continuous compliance monitoring across AWS, Azure, and GCP environments.
Traditional cybersecurity relies on perimeter-based controls — firewalls and endpoint agents designed for static data centre environments. Cloud native security is built for dynamic, ephemeral workloads where containers spin up in seconds, microservices communicate via APIs, and infrastructure is defined as code. Cloud native security must be API-first, fully automated, and embedded into the DevSecOps pipeline rather than applied after deployment.
The top risks include misconfigured Kubernetes RBAC and network policies, vulnerable container images with unpatched CVEs, over-privileged cloud identities (IAM roles and service accounts), secrets exposed in source code or environment variables, insecure APIs in microservice architectures, supply chain attacks via compromised base images, and lateral movement between containers due to missing network segmentation.
Yes. NetNXT cloud native security services provide unified coverage across Amazon EKS, Microsoft AKS, and Google GKE — plus self-managed Kubernetes clusters and hybrid on-premises environments. We apply consistent security policies, compliance frameworks, and threat detection across all cloud environments with a single management console.
Our platform supports automated compliance checks against CIS Kubernetes Benchmarks, CIS Docker Benchmarks, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FedRAMP, and GDPR. Compliance checks run continuously — not just at audit time — and evidence is generated automatically for GRC and audit teams.
A cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) protects running workloads — containers, VMs, and serverless functions — at runtime. NetNXT delivers CWPP capabilities as part of a broader CNAPP-aligned approach, covering behavioural anomaly detection, process and file integrity monitoring, and automated incident response.
