Bringing Security Posture Management to the Cloud

2025-06-20 • 6 min read

Cloud environments change constantly. Manual reviews cannot keep up, leaving misconfigurations that attackers exploit.

Use these strategies to automate and govern your cloud posture.

Define Secure Baselines

Start with a clear baseline using industry frameworks like CIS benchmarks or your compliance requirements. Document allowed instance types, network settings, and storage policies.

Automate Continuous Checks

Deploy a cloud security posture management tool or script that:

Ensure scans run on every change or daily at minimum.

Integrate With CI/CD

Shift security left by running posture checks in your pipeline. Block deployments that introduce high or critical issues.

Provide clear feedback to developers on how to fix violations.

Final Thought

Automating cloud posture reduces human error and scales with your growth. With clear baselines and continuous validation, you stay ahead of misconfigurations.
