CSPM
CSPM, or Cloud Security Posture Management, is a type of security tool that continuously monitors cloud environments to find and fix misconfigurations, compliance violations, and other security risks. It helps organizations maintain a strong security posture across their cloud infrastructure.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is a cloud-native security solution designed for continuous monitoring and automated remediation of misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks within Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) environments to ensure a robust security posture. It leverages policy-as-code and configuration management to identify deviations from security baselines and regulatory frameworks.
