Episode 74 — Cloud Posture Management: Misconfiguration Detection and Drift

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) addresses one of the leading causes of breaches: misconfiguration. In this episode, we explore how CSPM tools automatically detect weaknesses, enforce baselines, and identify drift from secure configurations. Cloud environments evolve rapidly, and without posture management, small errors can scale into critical exposures.

The exam often tests posture management through scenarios where controls are missing or where compliance has degraded over time. By mastering CSPM, you’ll be prepared to explain how continuous monitoring and corrective action protect cloud systems from the most common—and preventable—failures. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
