Summary
The query explorer is a vital function for CSPM analysts to navigate through extensive cloud infrastructure data, allowing them to discover potential security threats and vulnerabilities. KQL is introduced as the key language for constructing precise queries that can help in identifying security issues within cloud environments. Throughout the chapter, you gained insights into the practical use of query explorers and KQL. You learned about the syntax, structure, and various operators and functions associated with KQL queries, finding out how to filter, aggregate, and analyze cloud-related data effectively. The chapter provided practical examples and best practices for leveraging query explorers and KQL to enhance threat detection and response within cloud environments.
In the next chapter, we will discuss another core feature of CSPM tools: vulnerability and patch management.
