Cloud security tools provide the necessary technologies and methodologies to proactively monitor, detect, and respond to security incidents, ensuring continuous protection and compliance with regulatory standards.

Categories of Cloud Security Solutions

Cloud security tools can be broadly categorized into:

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASB)
Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM)
Cloud Workloads Protection Platforms (CWPP)
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Understanding these categories helps organizations select the right tools to address their specific security needs.
