As organizations are rapidly moving to the cloud to leverage the cloud advantage, services are also moving to the cloud, including cybersecurity solutions such as SIEM. In fact, SIEM as a Service is rapidly gaining momentum as an alternative to traditional, on-premises SIEM solutions. In its 10 Questions to Answer Before Adopting a SaaS SIEM report, Gartner had predicted that by 2023, 80% of SIEM solutions will have capabilities that are delivered via the cloud.

Investigating the origin of activity in cloud-native infrastructure—and understanding which activity is a potential threat—can be a challenging, time-consuming task for organizations. Cloud environments are complex by nature, comprising thousands of ephemeral, interconnected resources that generate large volumes of alerts, logs, metrics, and other data at any given time.

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) aims to automate the identification and remediation of risks across your entire cloud infrastructure. A core requirement of the CSPM framework is the need to enforce a principle of least privilege. There are certain overlaps with Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) solutions. CIEM is a newer categorization that came after CSPM.

The ongoing growth in the adoption of cloud services poses escalating opportunities and risks in equal measure. The increased capacity and scalability of cloud environment lends itself to an accelerated pace and higher volume of software and application development than ever before. This trend brings into play a huge increase in the number of software components and dependencies that developers use in their code bases.
