As organizations increasingly move their applications to cloud environments to bolster productivity and scale, security teams need effective ways to mitigate security risk to support growth and scale. Enterprise Strategy Group research showed the top challenges for cloud security posture management (CSPM) and the key features and capabilities of effective CSPM solutions.

With the move to cloud-native application development, developers can rapidly scale for faster product releases by provisioning their own cloud infrastructure. However, as they provision the entitlements needed to build and run their applications—including workloads, user identities, actions, and resources—they often overprovision access to enable them to quickly build their applications. When applications are deployed and run in cloud environments, a CIEM solution has a high impact on mitigating security risk by eliminating unneeded access points from entitlements that can expose them to attacks or lateral movement in security incidents.

Requirements from widespread work-from-anywhere policies have escalated the need for endpoint management and security convergence. IT and security teams require new mechanisms capable of providing common visibility, assessment, mitigation of software and configuration vulnerabilities, threat prevention, and support for threat investigation and response activities.

Digital transformation initiatives and remote work have further accelerated the migration of data assets to cloud stores. However, organizations are finding that sensitive data is now distributed across multiple public clouds. The use of disparate controls has led to a lack of consistent visibility and control, putting cloud-resident data at risk of compromise and loss. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT, cybersecurity, and DevOps professionals in order to gain insights into these trends.

Organizations are moving applications to the cloud and embracing digital transformation strategies to speed development cycles and better serve employees, partners, and customers. However, the subsequent faster release cycles and broad internet exposure increase the number of potential security incidents caused by misconfigurations, so security teams are looking for efficient ways to drive actions that reduce those risks.

Requirements from widespread work-from-anywhere policies have escalated the need for endpoint management and security convergence. IT and security teams need broad management, prevention, detection, and response capabilities that span endpoint devices and operating environments that are often outside of their control, which is driving many to desire convergence between management and security capabilities to simplify implementation, ongoing management, and risk mitigation.

The potential for serious business disruptions makes detecting threats quickly and accurately critical to preventing data loss, compliance violations, and lost revenue. Even as resources and users leave the traditional perimeter, the network should play a key role in detecting threats to avoid business disruption.
