What is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is a class of security tools designed to identify and remediate cloud security risks across a multi-cloud environment. CSPM tools provide visibility into an organization's cloud configurations, detect misconfigurations, and ensure compliance with industry best practices and regulatory standards. They automate security assessments, provide prioritized recommendations for remediation, and continuously monitor the cloud environment for deviations from the desired security posture. CSPM is commonly used to improve cloud security, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain compliance with security policies.
