Managing Security “in the Clouds”

The number of Cloud security management platform solution categories (according to Gartner) continues to grow. As far as I know, this is the current list:

  1. Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
  2. Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP),
  3. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM),
  4. Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM),
  5. Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP)

(For details on what they are, look for example here.) And the list is growing… This means on one side that the market for Cloud security management solutions is growing rapidly, on the other side that Cloud security is really an issue and that we haven’t really yet found a good way to manage it.
