CSPM tools continuously monitor cloud environments for misconfigurations and compliance violations. In a world where a single misconfigured storage account can expose millions of records, CSPM is essential.
What CSPM Monitors
- Storage accounts with public access
- Databases without encryption
- VMs with public IPs
- Missing network security groups
- Unencrypted traffic
