Hello everyone. My name is Vishnu. I am here with you today to discuss about cloud security for shared management, commonly known as CSPM. As more organizations move their applications to cloud, maintaining a strong security P is crucial to protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance. In this session, I will be sharing insight into how. CSPM can help you identify risks, enforcing, enforce security policies, and strengthen your cloud environment. CSPM provides automated security monitoring, compliance management, and risk assessment across multiple cloud platforms like, Amazon Web Services AWS, Microsoft Azure and GCP and other cloud platforms. Yeah. CSPM, core concepts and growing importance to CSPM. What is, CSPM? CSPM, is a continuously monitoring cloud infrastructure configurations. And security settings to identify potential vulnerabilities and compliance issues. This system establish baseline security configurations and actively monitored for deviations that could indicate security risks. CSPM critical, functionalities, identifying, misconfiguration in cloud service. and continuously monitoring, reporting and alerting. Then, it provide comprehensive visibility across cloud environments, market growth, compound animal growth rate, with 12.8%. This growth is driven by raising frequency of cloud security breaches and the increasing complex complexity of multi-cloud environment within single organization, technical architecture components. Mainly. We have in c in CSPM three components out there. One is, continuous. Monitoring systems, risk assessment frameworks, compliance monitoring tools. when coming to the continuous monitoring systems, we can build our own monitoring systems or. We can, utilize the vendors, vendors or SaaS providers like, Okta with Ivo Rapid seven, multiple SaaS vendors or cloud service provider. Also providing, CSPM solution mainly we can. We can ingest data using a p CS Cloud service providers APAs to get, cloud environment metadata to, to verify configurations and to protect, organization or cloud service. This one, will give you, visibility across the cloud infrastructure. So second, risk assessment frameworks, is automated scanning assessment capabilities, identifying potential security gaps and compliance violations across cloud, workloads, security frameworks, like CAS benchmarks, for industry standards. And, NIST frameworks failed ramp. And when the best practices frameworks, we can utilize, as a template to start, cloud configuration, continuous monitoring. Third one is compliance monitoring tools. this component, works conjunction with, security policy engines to enforce organizational security standards, enabling automated policy enforcement and continuous compliance monitoring across cloud environments. Yeah. implementation strategy? Yeah. First, we need to do inventory analysis. Across all organization cloud assets and resource, and, we can do what qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, qualitative analysis like is, if we are using cloud service for public facing applications. We can give more priority and the quantitative is based on number of resources for that particular cloud service. We can give priority, we can understand, our inventory and we can define scope of security coverage needed. What is in scope and what is out scope if you are using a third party sas? Monitor CSPM tools, you need to consider. what, how, what services they are. They have coverage, they have full coverage. there are no coverage. Particular cloud service, that same services are we using in our organization. Once, inventory, analysis is done, then next step, security baseline establishment. In this one, we need, we can, we can define, we can, we need to do cloud configuration rules and security controls in a framework security configuration baseline. here, using with the help of industry based practices and organizational security requirements. Yeah. in this one, some, cloud configurations rules provided by vendor or industry based practices frameworks may not, applicable to our organization. Based on our security requirements, we need to adjust, those, default frameworks. based on severity and risk. Yeah. next we can in once, security configuration, baseline is established and it's ongoing security monitoring and complete compliance assessment, then we can integrate with our existing tools like sim systems and IAM tools. it'll give you, comprehensive coverage and cons, consistent monitoring, next alert configurations. Once, SA cloud security. Cloud configuration. Baseline rule is have some findings. We need to, alert to security teams. we can do some alert configurations like, we can integrate with the Jira or creating ticket. And, based on, our national risk tolerance, we can change the severity. and we can, we can ensuring effective prior of security incidents, we can customize, when that provided severity for that, cloud configuration rules. we can customize based on our, organization security requirements. Yeah. integration requirements, cloud service provider connections. Yeah. Establishing a PA connections with the cloud service provider, ensures consistent data flow, and it'll give usability across cloud environments. This, appropriate access, control and secure communication channels. Yep. we can set up this, CSP connections in two ways. One is, scanning, hourly basis, like every 12 hours or 24 hours. Other one is near real time updates, like cloud event, integration. Whenever some resource. Configuration changes immediately. update, edge Good Cloud configuration rules. Update inventory and up edge good cloud configuration rules of, identify any misconfiguration deviation from baseline. Next, security tool integration. Connecting with existing security tools and monitor. Monitor monitoring systems enables unified security management and consistent policy enforcements. This includes SIM systems, IM tools, integrations, data connector configurations, configuring appropriate data connectors, and ensuring proper data formatting for analysis. It enables effective security monitoring and assessment across cloud environments. Security and compliance benefits enhance security portion CSPM solutions, provide continuous monitoring and assessment cap capabilities. it's enable organizations to identify address security risks proactively before they can be exploited automated security policy enforcement as a major, as a critical component of modern security strategies compliance management. automated compliance monitoring and reporting capabilities, enables organizations to maintain continuous compliance with various regularity. Frameworks like, CAS benchmarks, niche framework. fed Ramp and, it, this simplifies audit process and regulatory requirement tracking. While ensuring accurate and timely reporting operational efficiency, it'll reduce manual intervention with, automated, continuous, cloud environment scanning and identify any misconfiguration. in CSPM solution implementation best practices, so regular security assessment, conduct, systematic vulnerability, scannings and pen test to proactively identify security gaps and compliance risks. define, robust IEM policies. Establish a principle of least privileged access controls with the MFA to prevent unauthorized access to, to send two resources like NPA data, PA data, those, any sensitive resources. any trans, you can secure transaction enable MFA, continuous monitoring, mon monitor, CSPM frameworks and deploy, automate automated, monitoring for all cloud environments with real time alerts. For any suspicious activities and configuration changes, if, we can continuously monitor, our security configuration baseline. If any unauthorized person changes, our baseline, we need to identify incident response planning. create a detailed, untested response playbook with a clear, escalation pause on recovery procedure for various security scenarios. staff training programs. it's a, it's a role based specific security training with the simulated phishing exercises and hands-on workshop to build security awareness, common challenges and solutions in CSPM, like in liquid configuration management, leading to. Or exploitable vulnerabilities. for this one, we can implement real time configuration assessment with the automated remediation workflows. Compliance management, is dynamic regulatory landscape evolving change, Whenever new cloud service releases are utilized by organization, we need to enhance our security configuration baseline. Also resource management, established role-based security training with the with, sandbags cloud environment scenario. With cloud. Yeah. Practical cloud environment scenarios, integrations, implement a PA driven security architecture with centralized management council. Yeah. Imagine technologists in CSPM, artificial intelligence. Yeah, you can, utilize, enable a for threat, more threat detection and automated response capabilities. Advanced automation, we can implement autom remediation, autom remediation workflows or playbooks whenever misconfiguration finds. we can, automatically fix, automatic without manual intervention, automatically update configuration to, to match with our security baseline. Predictive analyticals, the integration of predictive security analyticals, enables organ organization to anticipate. Potential security issues before, they manifest as actual threats. Yeah. CSPM, industry developments and future trends. Autonomous security systems, AI driven self-healing, security controls, zero trust architecture, continuous verification, security framework. DevOp integrations integrate, baseline with, DevOps pipelines. it'll prevent, in cloud resources closing itself, edge computing, security, decentralized protection for distributed, assets. we can implement at, edge locations endpoints, quantum computing preparation, Crip, after, cryptographic resiliency for first, first quantum threats. Yeah, this strategies, plays particular, this strategies emphasis on anticipating emerging technology like quantum computing and edge processing, proactively preparing for their transformative impact on cloud security paradigms. Yeah. Conclusion we have in CSPM, area, we have 12.8% of market growth. Based on reflecting its critical importance in modern security strategies, three key benefits, using cloud security portion management. It enhances security portion. Automated compliance and operational efficiency. Yep. the evaluation of CSPM driven by emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and edge computing. Positions such as a future of cloud security strategies. With integration of advanced automation capabilities and adoption of zero trust policy policies, CSPM will continue to play a vital role in helping organizations protecting their digital assets. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you all.
