EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CSPM TOOLS IN MULTI-CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

This article examines the capabilities, difficulties, and potential of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions in multi-cloud systems to assess their efficacy. It examines how businesses use CSPM solutions from key cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP, emphasizing important features like compliance management, policy standardization, and detection and response systems. The article highlights the role that CSPM technologies play in tackling the increasing complexity of multi-cloud security by examining their development from simple configuration checkers to comprehensive security platforms. Through a thorough examination of industry publications and market research, it also offers insights into existing implementation issues and suggests ways to increase the efficacy of CSPM tools in a variety of cloud contexts.
