CLOUD SECURITY POSTURE MANAGEMENT (CSPM)
Cloud security posture management (CSPM) identifies and remediates risk by automating visibility, uninterrupted monitoring, threat detection, and remediation workflows to search for misconfigurations across diverse cloud environments/infrastructure, including: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Security posture is a reference to the cybersecurity strength of an organization, which includes an assessment of its ability to detect and respond to security threats.
A security posture includes an array of tools and strategies used to guard networks, devices, users, and data from all kinds of threats, including
Compromised/stolen credentials
Breaches
Data loss
Network performance attacks
Misconfiguration / Configuration drift
Malware
Spyware
Ransomware
Organizations adopting cloud infrastructure are responsible for practicing CSPM, but without a CSPM tool, security teams face significant challenges:
Multi-cloud Complexity
Security Blind Spots
Compliance Obligations
Poor Developer Experience
The CSPM automates the identification and remediation of risks across cloud infrastructures, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).
