Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platforms don't understand the application-layer, services, APIs, code, open-source dependency risks, and data flows. They also don't monitor developer activity and behavior or attribute cloud threats to CI/CD pipelines and product teams. With Start Left®, link cloud security with product and business context, enriching correlation and prioritization.
When it comes to protecting and securing cloud infrastructure, nothing beats a cloud security posture management platform (CSPM). The mission of CSPM is to ensure security, reliability, and resilience of production environments. Among the many security functions offered by a CSPM are those for managing vulnerabilities, identifying threats, limiting user access, encrypting data in transit, and keeping tabs on regulatory compliance. It takes use of tight integration to help businesses shield their apps against new vulnerabilities and attacks.
However, many CSPM platforms fail to deliver on the promise of comprehensive security posture management (SPM). The security of cloud infrastructure and configurations is typically the primary focus of such platforms. While crucial, they still fall short in providing full SPM.
A company's security posture will be lacking without strong "start left" capabilities. In-depth vulnerability assessment, secure coding techniques, real-time threat detection, and remediation guidance are just some of those features. To overcome these challenges, Start Left™ bridges these gaps and unifies a full product development lifecycle SPM approach.

Understand how cloud infrastructure, operating system (OS), and workload issues that CSPM platforms find affect your product teams. Leverage Start Left® for more complete security posture management.
By attributing CSPM data back to product teams and CI/CD pipelines, Start Left® automatically detects threats of active adversarial behaviors to notify teams of the products that are being actively targeted.
Benefits of Seamless SPM
Improved Security Posture
By automating tasks and processes, an integrated CSPM with security analytics reduces the time and effort required to manage and effectively protect products and data.
Increased efficiencies
Freeing up resources for other tasks and initiatives, increases efficiency and productivity that can enable your teams to better allocate resources and prioritize remediation actions.
Prioritized security actions
By providing data-driven actionable insights, our SPM and security analytics helps make faster, more prioritized actions to fix cloud app security and compliance posture.
