Delayed Visibility Puts Your Cloud at Risk: Itâs Time for Real-Time
Blog post from Stream.Security
Cloud security has traditionally relied on an accumulation of tools addressing specific vulnerabilities, such as vulnerability management and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), but these often provide only static snapshots of cloud environments. The Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) aims to unify these tools yet still struggles with a fundamental disconnect between static posture assessments and dynamic cloud activities, which leaves security teams to manually correlate data. This gap creates significant visibility issues, as changes in cloud environments occur continuously, with privileged roles and configurations shifting rapidly. Log data, while real-time, lacks context, leading to an overwhelming influx of information and ineffective threat detection. The solution lies in a real-time, unified model that continuously updates cloud posture and activity correlation, allowing security teams to detect threats and understand risks in real time. Stream.Security exemplifies this approach by integrating posture hardening and threat response into a single platform, enabling security operations to manage threats proactively, as they occur, rather than retrospectively.
