Learn data security posture management, how it works, and how you can use it to protect your data, mitigate risks, and enforce compliance for the cloud.

This article breaks down the relationship between CNAPPs and ASPM, clarifies how they overlap, and explains why organizations benefit most from a platform that brings both together.

Improve your security with risk-based vulnerability management. Learn how to prioritize threats, reduce risks, and streamline remediation efforts effectively.

Attack surface management is an end-to-end security process that involves discovering all potential entryways into IT environments, weighing their importance, and finding ways to secure or minimize them.

Managed cloud security helps organizations scale protection across cloud environments by outsourcing key operations like detection, response, and compliance monitoring.

A maturity model isn’t just a framework—it’s your roadmap to evolving beyond compliance checklists. Start with foundational controls (like asset inventory and basic IAM hygiene) and progress to advanced practices like threat modeling and runtime protection.

A CNAPP, or Cloud Native Application Protection Platform, is an integrated security solution that unifies multiple cloud security capabilities—like CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, and IaC scanning—into a single platform.

Both approaches are unique, but they function as complementary cybersecurity frameworks for managing threats and vulnerabilities in modern IT systems. Together, EM and VM are essential for minimizing your attack surface, ensuring regulatory compliance, and preventing breaches.

Compare the top CSPM solutions (including key features and limitations) based on your security and compliance needs.

Alert fatigue, sometimes known as alarm fatigue, happens when security team members are desensitized by too many notifications, leading them to miss critical signals and legitimate warnings.

AI is transforming cloud security operations by enabling real-time threat detection, automated response, and predictive risk analysis, helping teams stay ahead of attackers.

Application risk management (ARM) is a framework for strategically identifying, measuring, prioritizing, and mitigating risks in cloud-native applications.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the differences between public and private cloud models and provide use cases and best practices to help you choose the best cloud strategy for your business.

To defend against malware in the cloud, businesses need a detection and response solution that’s built for the cloud, fluent in cloud-based indicators of compromise (IOCs), and enriched by cloud threat intelligence.

Software as a service (SaaS) refers to cloud-based software applications that can be accessed over the internet without any installation or maintenance on local devices.

Learn how DevSecOps integrates security into development, enhances collaboration, and ensures secure software delivery without slowing down workflows.
