Cloud security posture management (CSPM) entails the continuous monitoring and assessment of a cloud environment’s security configurations and compliance. CSPM tools identify potential vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance drift that expose organizations to threats. By automating security best practices and configuration checks, CSPM enhances overall cloud security and reduces risks associated with data breaches and non-compliance with regulations. Organizations utilize CSPM to ensure their cloud resources are secure, properly configured, and aligned with industry standards.
