Summary
The top cloud security tools in cybersecurity for 2025 fall under the umbrella of Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs). These solutions combine capabilities like Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Cloud Workload Protection (CWPP), and Identity and Access Management (IAM).
Many organizations opt for consolidated platforms, known as CNAPPs, to get unified security management across areas like CSPM, CWPP, and CIEM, as managing multiple, siloed tools can increase complexity and create security gaps.
