Panoptica Provides Full App Security
Cloud Application Security from Development to Runtime
With the increasing security risks across new attack paths, vectors, and surfaces, companies are seeking modern cloud native application security solutions that enable their DevOps and DevSecOps teams to take care of the threats that compromise their end-to-end cloud security approach.
“92% of security professionals say that the increase in cloud breaches has motivated leadership to buy into cloud-native security platforms, as opposed to 50% in 2022.”
Today, Panoptica provides holistic protection for cloud native application environments with its Attack Path Analysis capabilities, which allow developers to prioritize risks and remediate them accordingly. Panoptica also offers Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), and App + API Security.
Bottomline, Panoptica is making it possible for teams to secure their applications from the first line of code to their runtime in the cloud.

Trustworthy, Responsible, and Generative AI on the Rise
Customers are seeking a trusted partner who can help them navigate, manage, and scale AI across their enterprise organizations.
