What Do You Get With a CSPM?

A good CSPM tool should provide continuous visibility of your multiple clouds and monitor and identify misconfiguration vulnerabilities. You should get to remediate these vulnerabilities either automatically or via self-serve before they become potential threats. You should get to leverage the best practices and compliance such as SOC 2, GDPR, PCI, NIST 800-53, HIPAA, CIS, etc. A good CSPM tool should have the capability to provide real-time alerts for misaligned events happening in the cloud infrastructure.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Achieve Cloud Hygiene With Built-In Remediation

CSPM mitigates the risk of misconfigurations as most of the successful attacks and threats on cloud services are due to the big M [Misconfigurations]. Cloudanix detects these misconfigurations and minimizes the risk of compromise. Misconfigurations are unintended actions from within the company setup. A CSPM continuously assesses, detects, and governs these threats in your cloud environments and helps remediate them.

CLOUDANIX

Our Approach To Cloud Security Posture Management

Our approach to securing your public cloud infrastructure is a multi-pronged one. Organizations need complete visibility into their cloud assets, continuous monitoring for misconfigurations and the risks they carry, real-time reporting of these to not compromise their cloud infrastructure, and remediation to mitigate the threats. With Cloudanix, these are now possible. Our platform categorizes these features into 3 broad categories: Events, Misconfigurations and Assets.

icon related to Events

Events

With events, you get real-time reporting of changes happening in your cloud infrastructure. To control the signal from noise, you can subscribe to specific events which you deem essential. A detailed log is available to see exactly what happened, when and by whom. Any bad actors (external or internal) can be checked and almost immediately corrected.

Event Subscriptions

Subscribe to specific cloud events you deem important.

Detailed Audit Logs

Logs show what happened, when, and by whom to detect suspicious activity.

icon related to Misconfiguration

Misconfiguration

Misconfigurations help keep track of the risks you are exposed to. Timely detection can prevent any mishaps. While this is good to hear, there are times when you cannot worry about these misconfigurations occurring. Especially in highly productive environments where your development team is deploying code fast, the organization sometimes has limitations in using legacy systems. For these situations and more, Cloudanix has a novel feature where you can pause, acknowledge or accept the risk for a set amount of time or permanently.

icon related to Assets

Assets

Having complete visibility into all the assets of your cloud infrastructure can be a game changer. Cloudanix shows your assets across all the different regions with the metadata from a single dashboard. Here you can see the total assets, public-facing and otherwise. All this while calculating the drift and misconfigurations across the entire cloud infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) — its role, value, and why modern cloud-native environments can't live without it.

Any organization that has their data on the Cloud and is serious about the Security and Sanctity of that data. A CSPM tool should be the first tool used while Cloud migration or Cloud deployment. Without it you can be assured of sleepless nights.
Constant changes in the Cloud environment make it difficult to track whether or not your data is stored safely. As your cloud grows, so does the need to track and protect your data. CSPM allows monitoring and alerting via automation as soon as the problem arises, saving you the risk of a breach beforehand.
Continuous monitoring, Automation, and Misconfiguration prevention are key to a secure cloud. Issues related to Cloud security are easier to resolve when these are applied. CSPM may be used to map how Security teams work with DevOps teams, identify misconfigured assets and unused resources, verify the integrity of recent deployments, and more. This can help your organization save time and money in excess personnel and training.
CSPM is a cloud-native tool. This means it should be agentless and not require virtual machines (VM). A CSPM tool should only require the cloud account credentials to access the exposed APIs from the cloud provider. This quality ensures that a CSPM tool operates with very little to almost no impact on the performance or architecture of your cloud environment. Traditional cloud security will imitate security techniques like firewalls/security gateways, reverse proxies that are used in physical data centers, and repurpose them for the cloud. CSPM differs in nature as it uses native controls made in the cloud for the cloud.
