Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Helps withCVEs
Cloud security posture management continuously checks your AWS, Azure and Google Cloud accounts for misconfigurations, exposed storage, excessive permissions and vulnerable workloads.
How it compares
Most CSPM now comes as part of a broader CNAPP platform. Compare agentless coverage, how well risks are prioritized by real attack paths, and how noisy the results are.
Why it works
Cloud misconfigurations, such as public buckets and overly broad keys, are a leading cause of data exposure.
What to look for
- It should scan all of your accounts without agents.
- It should prioritize risks by attack path.
- It should guide you through remediation.
