Cloud Security Posture Management Market Outlook (2024)

Market Definition

The Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) Market size was valued at USD 4.02 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 9.68 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 13.49% from 2024-2030.Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) (CSPM) refers to the process of monitoring and maintaining the security posture of cloud computing environments. It involves continuously assessing and identifying security risks and vulnerabilities within a cloud infrastructure, applications, and services, and ensuring that appropriate security controls and policies are in place to address these risks. CSPM solutions use automation and machine learning to help organizations detect misconfigurations, access control issues, and other security gaps that may exist within their cloud environments. This enables organizations to take proactive steps to prevent security incidents and ensure compliance with industry regulations and standards.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The demand for Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is increasing due to the increasing adoption of cloud computing. As more businesses migrate their operations to the cloud, there is a growing need for CSPM solutions to manage the security of their cloud environments.
