What is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?

Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is the continuous proactive process of enterprise-wide asset visibility, risk assessment, and posture transformation with the goal of reaching a targeted cross-domain security state. It reduces the likelihood of security and compliance risks and the damage in the event of attacks through policy creation, real-time visibility, intelligent guidance, and automated remediation based on best practices and common frameworks. Continuous monitoring via CSPM is intended to reach a targeted cross-domain security state. CSPM practices help reduce the likelihood of security and compliance risks and the damage in the event of attacks through policy creation, visibility, guidance, and remediation based on policy and standards.
