The Misconfiguration Problem
An S3 bucket left publicly readable, an overly permissive IAM policy, or an open security group port — these simple misconfigurations have caused some of the largest data breaches in history.
How CSPM Works
CSPM tools (such as Prisma Cloud, Wiz, and AWS Security Hub) continuously scan your cloud configuration against benchmark frameworks like CIS, NIST, and SOC 2. They alert in real time and some can auto-remediate violations.
Implementation Steps
- Connect CSPM to all cloud accounts (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Define a risk severity threshold for blocking deployments.
- Integrate findings into your ticketing system for tracked remediation.
