Typical CSPM Events and Alerts

Identity & Access Risks Alerts related to over-privileged IAM roles, unused admin accounts, and missing key rotation. These are critical because identity misconfigurations are a leading cause of cloud breaches. Public Exposure Alerts Detection of publicly accessible storage, databases, or virtual machines, including open security groups allowing unrestricted internet access. Data Protection Gaps Events highlighting unencrypted storage, exposed snapshots, or weak key management configurations that may result in data leakage or compliance violations. Logging & Monitoring Issues Alerts triggered when audit logs are disabled, retention is missing, or security events are not integrated with SIEM—creating visibility gaps. Risky Configuration Changes Notifications when firewall rules, IAM policies, or encryption settings are changed in ways that increase risk, especially outside approved change windows. Compliance Violations Findings mapped against standards such as CIS Benchmarks or ISO 27001, showing posture drift and audit readiness gaps. Attack Path Insights Advanced CSPM correlates multiple issues (e.g., public exposure + admin access) to highlight realistic attack paths, not just isolated findin
