Decision to purchase CSPM tool is a first step in improving and strengthening your cloud security posture. We offer a tailored and bespoke managed service to deploy, configure and effectively utilize CSPM capabilities in your organization.

From our extensive experience delivering managed services for CSPM we describe some pitfalls to avoid and share lessons learned:

Excessive Number of False positive Findings Due to the broad nature of scans, CSPM tools can sometimes generate alerts for issues that are not actually security risks, leading to alert fatigue. Many organizations have to deal with large number false-positive findings, which in many cases are managed as exceptions.

Detective Rules are rather Compliance-focused Large number of detective checks and rules are focused on compliance checks rather than critical or high-risk security concerns that might not be directly related to regulatory requirements. While an important metric, ratio of misconfigurations may not be an indicator of defensive capabilities.

CSPM Remediation Recommendations are usually generic and not specific to the organization business context Identifying issues is one thing, but CSPM tools might not always provide clear or automated remediation steps, leaving manual intervention needed to fix problems.

CSPM Tools are often not aware of Other Security Tools in the Client Environment With diverse cloud services offered by different providers, some CSPM tools may struggle to provide comprehensive visibility across all aspects of a cloud environment.

Challenges with effective use of CSPM Tools in Build and Deploy Pipelines Integrating a CSPM tool with other security solutions like SIEMs or vulnerability scanners can be complex, potentially creating data silos.
