Cloud Security Posture Management Demystified
Cloud Security Posture Management Demystified Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) helps organizations see and fix security gaps across cloud environments. It turns security into a continuous habit, not a one-off audit. By scanning resources, CSPM shines a light on misconfigurations, risky permissions, and weak network rules. The result is fewer chances of data exposure and easier compliance across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid setups. CSPM works through three core activities: inventory, evaluation, and enforcement. First, it discovers assets across accounts and regions. Then it compares configurations to security baselines and known misconfigurations. Finally, it flags drift—when a change moves a resource away from the baseline—and it can trigger remediation steps or policy-driven responses. This combination helps teams stay ahead of changes rather than reacting after the fact. ...
