Cloud native security vendor Aqua Security has announced the launch of Real-Time CSPM, a new cloud security posture management solution designed to provide visibility and risk prioritization across multi-cloud security risks. Real-Time CSPM uses “real-time scanning” to pinpoint threats that evade agentless detection and reduce noise so security practitioners can identify, prioritize, and remediate the most important cloud security risks, according to the firm. It is the latest addition to the Aqua Cloud Security Platform.
Organizations face diverse, persistent cloud security challenges and risks that threaten both data and networks as more applications move to the cloud. Weak credentials, lack of authentication, unpatched vulnerabilities, and malicious open-source software (OSS) packages are all particularly troubling for businesses, according to a recent cloud security report from Palo Alto’s Unit 42. Meanwhile, security teams take an average of 145 hours to solve alerts, with 80% of cloud alerts triggered by just 5% of security rules in most environments.
