* According to a recent report, the market for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25.2% from 2021 to 2028.
* CSPM tools help organizations identify and remediate misconfigurations and policy violations in their cloud environments.
* The top 7 CSPM tools for 2024, according to the report, are: 1. AWS Security Hub, 2. Microsoft Azure Security Center, 3. Google Cloud Security Scanner, 4. IBM Security QRadar, 5. Tenable.io, 6. Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, and 7. CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud.
* The report notes that these tools offer features such as continuous monitoring, automated remediation, and integration with other security tools.
* With great power comes great responsibility, and it seems that in the cloud era, that power is being handed over to CSPM tools. I guess we’ll have to trust that they won’t misbehave or start charging us for extra cloud snacks.
Hot take:
In the future, instead of hiring security teams, companies will just buy a CSPM tool, name it “Cloudy McCloudface,” and let it do all the heavy lifting. And when Cloudy gets hacked, they’ll just blame it on a misconfiguration. “Oh, Cloudy? He’s just being a little too trusting of strangers again. We’ll talk to him about that.”
