Gartner recommends that security and risk management leaders invest in CSPM (cloud security posture management) processes and tools to avoid misconfigurations that can lead to data leakage. As the cloud grows, the need to track and protect against misconfiguration grows in parallel. CSPm allows for monitoring and can be done through a method of automation; queries are run periodically (frequency is dependent on the tool) and features can allow for automatic alerting to security admins who can appease the problem as soon as it arises.”]
