Instead, in Chapter 3, CSPM Tools and Features, we explore the broader world of tools, ensuring you have the freedom to choose what suits your needs. This journey is about your mastery, not brand loyalty.
In Chapter 6, Onboarding Cloud Accounts, we seamlessly transition into the practical side, making sure you’re ready to safeguard your digital treasures. We demystify complex concepts, from Exploring Environment Settings (Chapter 8) to managing your digital assets in Exploring Cloud Asset Inventory (Chapter 9).
The emphasis here is on your journey. No matter your background, from Reviewing CSPM Dashboards (Chapter 10) to mitigating Major Configuration Risks (Chapter 11), we’ve got your back. Become a digital detective in Investigating Threats with Query Explorer and KQL (Chapter 12) and fortify your defenses with Vulnerability and Patch Management (Chapter 13).
