Cloud Security Posture Management is the most important factor in multi-cloud deployments. Detecting and preventing the misconfigurations and threats that lead to data breaches and compliance violations in your multi-cloud environments. For organizations embarking on a multi-cloud strategy, cloud security posture management (CSPM) helps them secure multiple cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) providers.
According to Gartner “Nearly all successful attacks on cloud services are the result of customer misconfiguration, mismanagement and mistakes. Security and risk management leaders should invest in cloud security posture management processes and tools to proactively and reactively identify and remediate these risks”
With the help of these Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools, organizations can ascertain and remediate threats through security assessments and automated compliance checking. Unfortunately, most organizations assumed their cloud provider is entirely responsible for the security, resulting in data breaches and other security issues. If you have a multi-cloud strategy in your organization, it becomes more vital to have cloud security posture management tools. As we are witnessing, cloud security breaches are widespread, and most violations are due to cloud misconfigurations. As different cloud providers are responsible for securing the infrastructure, customers are responsible for configuring the cloud resources and ensuring applications and data are secured.
Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Cloud Security can be the starting point for all the CIOs, IT Managers, Infrastructure heads, and Security leaders to evaluate the emerging technologies on this Hype Cycle to help their organizations make safe use of the public cloud.
