Cloud Security (CSPM/CNAPP)

13 providers in this category.

Cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP) continuously scan cloud accounts for misconfigurations, risky entitlements, exposed data, and workload vulnerabilities. They suit teams running multi-cloud or Kubernetes estates that need posture, runtime, and identity risk in one view. Agentless coverage and CSPM/CWPP/CIEM breadth separate the field.
