Getting Started with CSPM for Public Cloud
Getting Started with CSPM for Public Cloud
Netskope Public Cloud Security provides a security assessment framework which accesses and analyzes the posture of your IaaS resources in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, and generates alerts that an administrator can remediate. You can configure one or more accounts to be evaluated against CIS benchmarks such as CIS AWS Foundations, CIS Microsoft Azure Foundations, or your own assessment framework. Netskope assesses your environment and measures against benchmarks and best practices. Netskope securely audits your cloud services continuously so you can determine if there are any potentially exploitable misconfigurations.
To set up CSPM for public cloud, you need to:
- Configure Security Posture for each AWS account, Azure tenant, and GCP organization.
