Security alerts and monitoring overview

At its core, CSPM is a comprehensive approach to securing cloud environments. It brings a range of strategies and practices aimed at identifying and mitigating security risks and vulnerabilities. However, CSPM extends beyond merely configuring cloud resources securely or defining access control policies. It is also about maintaining continuous vigilance over your cloud infrastructure to ensure that it remains secure over time. Security alerts and monitoring serve as the watchful eyes and keen ears of your cloud environment, constantly scanning for potential threats, deviations from security policies, and signs of unauthorized access. They act as the first line of defense against emerging security risks.
