The process of transitioning to the cloud is complex and non-linear, with companies moving through various phases. The diversity of technologies used in cloud applications and the evolving dynamics of security teams within organizations add to the complexity.
To effectively address these challenges, there’s a need to shift from fragmented cloud security capabilities towards a unified security platform. Such a platform empowers security teams with the flexibility and proactive measures required to secure cloud environments.
Nowadays, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions play a pivotal role in addressing the challenges associated with organizations’ posture to the cloud. CSPMs extend beyond providing cloud visibility and are designed to identify and mitigate security risks in cloud environments, including misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and threats across workloads and CI/CD tooling.
CloudGuard is Named a GigaOm Radar for CSPM Leader for the Second Year in a Row
In 2023, for the second consecutive year, GigaOm conducted an evaluation of ten CSPM vendors to determine if their capabilities were widely adopted and effectively implemented within the industry. These requirements encompassed areas such as cloud workload scanning, improved visibility into cloud services, cloud-native risk detection, compliance reporting, and real-time monitoring of cloud services.
We are thrilled to announce that CloudGuard has achieved recognition as both a leader and a fast mover in the 2023 GigaOm Radar for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM).
This acknowledgment signifies that our product not only meets the highest criteria set by GigaOm’s Radar but is also widely adopted in the market. Additionally, it reflects our commitment to continuous innovation, demonstrated by strong year-over-year improvements, ensuring that we maintain technological leadership in the field.
According to GigaOm, CloudGuard distinguishes itself by enabling users to establish a more secure cloud posture, reinforcing the following advantages:
Ensuring Cloud Compliance:
One of the standout features of CloudGuard CSPM is its ability to evaluate cloud environments against 60 security and compliance frameworks. This is guided by machine learning and over 2,400 security rules, ensuring that organizations can maintain compliance in their cloud operations.
Analyzing Cloud Identities:
CloudGuard CSPM simplifies the identification of Identity and Access Management (IAM) risks. It provides intuitive graphical representations of cloud identities, allowing organizations to understand the relationships between cloud assets, permissions, and identities.
“Check Point’s CloudGuard is a comprehensive solution for organizations with diverse cloud deployments and workloads. Its capabilities have expanded to include an identity-focused (CIEM) capability as well as full Kubernetes security posture management.”
Effective Risk Management:
Leveraging AI and machine learning technologies, CloudGuard CSPM performs precise risk calculations. It factors in baseline risks like misconfigurations and vulnerabilities, along with other critical factors such as known threats and exposed secrets.
Continuously Securing Code:
In today’s fast-paced development environments, securing code is a top priority. CloudGuard CSPM seamlessly integrates with developer environments (IDEs), Git repositories, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning.
