Effective vulnerability management and CSPM tools

As we have already discussed, vulnerability and patch management are some of the core features of major CSPM tools. A CSPM tool can play a crucial role in effective vulnerability management by helping you identify and remediate vulnerabilities in your cloud environment. But here is a point to ponder – an organization may already have vulnerability management tools such as Qualys, OpenVAS, and Tenable Nessus for managing vulnerabilities of their traditional data center and on-premises infrastructure. Why do they need a CSPM tool for vulnerability management in their cloud infrastructure? Is it worth spending additional cost on a CSPM tool for this purpose? What are the advantages of a CSPM tool over a traditional tool?

Let’s understand how vulnerabilities are different in cloud environments and why they need extra attention.
