Cloud-Native Security: The Key Advantage Developers Value Most
Security is a top priority for cloud developers—but what's the biggest advantage of cloud-native application security? According to the Evans Data Cloud Development Survey 24.1, integration with vendor security services leads the way, with 20.8% of developers identifying it as the greatest benefit.
By seamlessly integrating with cloud provider security tools, organizations can leverage pre-existing security infrastructures, enhancing their security posture while reducing the burden on in-house teams. This allows security professionals to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine security maintenance.
Another critical advantage? Security shifts earlier in the development process (15.7%), aligning with DevSecOps principles. By embedding security from the design phase, cloud-native applications avoid the pitfalls of last-minute security fixes, reducing vulnerabilities before they become major risks.
Threat detection capabilities (14.5%) also stand out as a major benefit. Advanced monitoring and analytics in cloud-native environments enable faster identification and response to security threats, strengthening overall resilience.
For organizations investing in cloud-native strategies, these insights highlight the importance of prioritizing vendor security integrations and early security practices.
