Cloud Native Security

Cloud native security applies security principles specifically to cloud native architectures built around containers, microservices, serverless functions, and declarative infrastructure. The 4Cs model (Cloud, Cluster, Container, Code) provides a layered framework for thinking about cloud native security from the underlying cloud provider through to application code.

Cloud native security emphasizes policy-as-code, shifting security left into developer workflows, and automating compliance verification through CI/CD.
