Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for Multi-Cloud Security

Cloud environments aren’t getting any simpler. Networks are sprawling, configurations are multiplying, and keeping everything secure and compliant? That’s a full-time job.

You need security that works—reliably, consistently, across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes. That means tight configurations, automated compliance, and complete visibility into your cloud security posture.

And that’s exactly what Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is designed for.

The Challenge of Multi-Cloud Security

Managing security across multiple cloud providers isn’t just about securing one system—it’s about securing many, each with its own rules, configurations, and quirks.

Take cloud permissions, for example. AWS supports 15,000+ IAM actions, Azure has nearly 19,000, and GCP a bit over 10,000. And those are just the actions—you’re also dealing with different default settings, networking rules, and compliance standards.

Then there’s compliance.

If your business operates globally, you’re navigating GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and a dozen other frameworks—all while ensuring your cloud environments aren’t riddled with misconfigurations.

And let’s be real: misconfigurations are the leading cause of cloud security incidents.

As cryptologist Bruce Schneier said, “People are the weakest link in information security.”

But it’s not just a people problem. Cloud security is complex by design, and complexity creates risk.

So how do you stay ahead of it?

How CSPM Helps Secure Multi-Cloud Environments

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tools give security teams the automation and visibility they need to manage risk across cloud environments.

A CSPM solution should:
✅ Continuously monitor your cloud environments for security misconfigurations.
✅ Automate compliance checks for CIS, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more.
✅ Provide centralized visibility across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
✅ Enforce role-based access and governance policies.

Prowler: Open-Source CSPM for Multi-Cloud Security

Prowler was built to do exactly this.

“I built Prowler as an open-source tool to audit AWS environments for misconfigurations. It started as a side project, but quickly grew into something much bigger—other engineers started using it, suggesting features, and contributing code. Now, it’s a full-fledged open-source security platform for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.”
– Toni de la Fuente, CEO of Prowler

With Prowler, security teams get an automated, scalable, and open-source CSPM solution that works across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Kubernetes—without the vendor lock-in or enterprise price tag.

Key Benefits of Prowler for CSPM

🔹 Multi-Cloud Security Coverage – Unifies security across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
🔹 Automated Compliance Checks – CIS benchmarks, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more.
🔹 Early Detection of Misconfigurations – Flags security gaps before they become incidents.
🔹 Centralized Visibility – One dashboard for monitoring all cloud environments.
🔹 Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) – Helps enforce least privilege policies.
🔹 Rapid Incident Response – Pinpoints vulnerabilities and accelerates remediation.
🔹 Open-Source & Cost-Effective – No vendor lock-in, backed by a strong community.

Automating Compliance & Security in the Cloud

Manual security checks don’t scale.

Prowler automates regular security scans across AWS, Azure, and GCP, ensuring continuous compliance with no extra effort.

You can schedule security checks, and generate audit-ready reports—so when compliance teams come knocking, you’re ready.

And because security risks don’t wait for audits, continuous run-time monitoring ensures you catch misconfigurations early.
