Summary
This chapter delved into the critical realm of mitigating misconfigurations in multi-cloud environments through the lens of CSPM. Misconfigurations can lead to severe vulnerabilities, unauthorized access, data breaches, and even the introduction of malware. The chapter also outlines key misconfiguration categories, including network, IAM, data protection, lateral movement, vulnerabilities, and malware. Each category was accompanied by an explanation of potential misconfigurations and their associated risks. To counter these risks, this chapter provided comprehensive insights into best practices and lessons learned.
In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into the query explorer feature of CSPM using Kusto Query Language (KQL).
