“By 2024, organizations adopting a cybersecurity mesh architecture will reduce the financial impact of individual security incidents by an average of 90%.” - Gartner

As organizations adopt cloud services, they are prone to an expanding attack surface and complex configurations, which can often lead to security breaches, data leaks, or compliance violations. CSPM, or Cloud Security Posture Management, addresses these issues by continuously scanning cloud environments to detect misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and deviations from best practices, preventing potential exploits.

If your organization is looking to buy a cloud compliance solution, Horangi’s whitepaper The Ultimate Guide to CSPM+ looks at responses and important selection criteria from organizations using the public cloud to help you make a more informed decision.

Key Takeaways

• The widespread adoption of the cloud, coupled with the fact that teams managing infrastructure lack cloud security experience, increases the attack surface for data breaches
• CSPMs are focused on helping organizations stop the leading cause of IaaS-based data breaches
• Organizations who are considering CSPM solutions should prioritize features including resource inventory, risk prioritization, and compliance management
