This whitepaper introduces CADR (Cloud Application Detection & Response) as an emerging cybersecurity market that addresses critical gaps in protecting modern cloud-native applications. Traditional security approaches fall short because they're static rather than runtime-focused, provide only intermittent monitoring, and poorly cover cloud environments.

CADR bridges missing capabilities across three existing security markets: Cloud Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP), Detection and Response (DR), and Application Security (AppSec). Unlike traditional static security tools, CADR provides always-active, runtime observability with process-level detection and automated response capabilities for applications in dynamic, distributed cloud environments.

Download this whitepaper now to get detailed criteria for evaluating CADR technologies and an explanation how this category represents the evolution from static, intermittent security scanning to dynamic, continuous application protection across the entire DevOps lifecycle.
