Key Considerations for Implementing Cloud Security Posture Management Tools

Have I defined our organization’s cloud security strategy?

Should I favor cloud-native tools augmented by third-party tools, based on our identified requirements?

Are the key stakeholders and organizational dependencies for cloud security ownership clearly articulated?

Have we defined a cloud security architecture role and set of best practices? 

How do I effectively protect sensitive data in approved cloud apps while also providing visibility and granular access control to unsanctioned and tolerated cloud apps?

Are cloud access security broker (CASB) tools the optimal choice for automating continuous risk assessments for my applications? 

Do I have a well-defined process for protecting my IaaS and PaaS environments?

Does the process include controls such as CSPM tools to provide overall visibility and cloud workflow protection platform (CWPP) tools to provide workload insights across multiple clouds? 

Is WAN transformation complexity challenging our environment?

Can our business objectives expediently adopt SD-WAN, optimized global connectivity, distributed workforce security and secure branch internet access?
