How to Lock Down the Cloud Control Plane with CSPM

As growing numbers of enterprises adopt more cloud services, security professionals must ensure that the cloud control plane is properly locked down. This helps to reduce the number of security vulnerabilities and helps CISOs increase visibility for the business into cloud risks and activities.

The more cloud services a business adopts, the greater the number of dashboards, reporting tools, administration features and interfaces the company collects. These are collectively known as the cloud control plane, and as they grow in number, the volume of information they present rises. This creates a greater risk that something could go wrong, something important could be missed or that they could be abused. A recent study from IFP highlighted that 34% of IT security professionals are concerned about weak control planes.
