Cloud environments are often distributed across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid infrastructure, creating challenges in maintaining security and compliance. This whitepaper examines how Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) helps organizations monitor cloud configurations, identify misconfigurations, prioritize security risks, and support compliance efforts across multi-cloud environments.
Intended for CISOs, cloud architects, platform engineering teams, and compliance leaders, the guide outlines the key capabilities of CSPM, including asset discovery, risk prioritization, remediation workflows, compliance monitoring, identity governance, and DevSecOps integration. It also discusses the role of CSPM within Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPPs) and offers recommendations for strengthening cloud security governance and operational oversight.
