A method and system for implementing cloud native application threat detection. Specifically, the disclosed method and system entail configuring a webhook within a build pipeline for cloud native applications, which when triggered by the detection of modifications to container configuration and/or definition files associated with the cloud native applications, forwards exact copies of the cloud native applications to a threat detection service for cyber security assessing. Further, based on the assessing, cloud native applications may be impeded from continuing, or alternatively, may be permitted to continue along, the build pipeline.
