CSPM
Continuous assessment of cloud configuration against baselines, identifying misconfiguration and exposure.
Updated
CSPM tools inventory cloud resources and compare configuration against benchmarks and policy, producing findings ranked by severity. Graph-based tools additionally show the combinations — exposure plus vulnerability plus privilege — that make a finding genuinely exploitable.
The value is in the remediation workflow, not the scan. Without ownership routing and a ranked backlog, CSPM produces a findings queue that only grows. Standalone CSPM is increasingly absorbed into broader CNAPP platforms that fold in identity and data security posture alongside it.

From CSPM alerts to fixes
A CSPM tool produces thousands of findings. This is the triage and ownership model that converts that backlog into a small number of changes that matter.
