Capability scores for cloud security infrastructure companies are driven by the breadth and depth of their CNAPP and CSPM offerings, as well as their ability to support multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Automated evidence collection for compliance audits and agentless discovery capabilities also contribute to higher capability scores.
Companies that demonstrate a strong commitment to providing fundamental security principles and seamless integration with popular enterprise tools tend to score well in this area. Innovation scores are largely based on the incorporation of AI-driven features such as adaptive policies and automated remediation, as well as advanced security measures like homomorphic encryption and quantum-resistant encryption.
Vendors can improve their ranking by focusing on emerging technologies that address complex and evolving cloud security challenges, such as Shadow AI and multi-cloud complexity. Top-ranked companies are often those that provide runtime visibility and prioritize fixing critical issues faster.
