Understanding Data Security Posture Management: Myths vs. Realities
Cloud computing, microservices, and decentralized data storage have heightened data breach risks. Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) addresses this by focusing on data protection rather than infrastructure. DSPM includes data discovery, classification, exposure mapping, risk remediation, and compliance management, complementing tools like CSPM and SSPM for a data-centric approach.
DSPM is a strategic solution for enhancing security and reducing breach risks, not just a costly, separate tool. Implementing DSPM involves assessing posture, classifying data, prioritizing risks, and continuous threat monitoring. It helps protect data, ensure compliance, and support digital transformation.
