Top 10 Best Practices for Cloud Security Posture Management

Public clouds have fundamentally changed the way organizations build, operate, and manage applications. Security for applications in the cloud is composed of hundreds of configuration parameters and is vastly different from security in traditional data centers.

This includes rethinking security practices across asset management, compliance, change management, issue investigation, and incident response, as well as training and education.
