DSPM solutions are essential for effective cloud data security and compliance because they continuously oversee and assess an organization’s cloud data security practices and configurations.

A VPC is a logically isolated private network within a public cloud that users can fully configure.

Learn about vulnerability management and how you can improve your cloud security with best practices and tools—plus how you can get a 1-on-1 assessment.

Data security in 2025 demands a shift from perimeter defenses to continuous, context-aware protection across cloud, SaaS, and on-prem environments.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to choose a CNAPP that cuts through complexity and gives your team a real path to security: with full-stack visibility, runtime protection, and developer-friendly workflows.

Cloud service providers offer on-demand, scalable computing resources like storage services, applications, and cloud-based compute. Using a structured checklist can help your business select a cloud provider that has the features you need to meet your security goals.

Compare 10 essential cloud security tool types and their key features and learn how to consolidate your security stack with CNAPP solutions for better protection.

Cloud transformation is the process of moving IT assets to cloud environments to achieve better agility and efficiency.

Unauthorized access refers to any successful or attempted access to systems, services, or data without the proper permissions. These incidents can result from misconfigurations, credential theft, or flaws in identity and access management—and often go unnoticed without proper detection mechanisms in place.

Aimed at verifying security, compliance, and operational resilience, a cloud security audit is a structured evaluation of an organization's cloud environments, infrastructure, configurations, access controls, and security policies.
