Why this module exists. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is the discipline of continuously scanning cloud configurations against benchmarks (CIS, sector-specific). This module covers the tool landscape, the recurring findings, and how to integrate CSPM into engineering workflow without burying teams in alerts.
What CSPM tools do
Connect to cloud accounts via API; continuously enumerate resources and configurations; check against benchmark rules; report findings.
