Decoding Security Solutions: ASPM vs CSPM vs CNAPP

John DiMaria; Assurance Investigatory Fellow

In the ever-expanding digital world, securing applications and the infrastructure they rely on is critical. This episode tackles three key security field acronyms: Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). While all focused on bolstering security posture, these target different aspects of one's security program.

Listen as we interview Karthik Swarnam, Chief Security and Trust Officer at Armorcode, a CSA member, and take a deep dive into this subject. We discuss:

  • Distinguishing between ASPM, CSPM, and CNAPP: Understand their functionalities, target areas, and how they differ in safeguarding your digital assets.
  • Navigating the ever-changing security landscape of security solutions and making informed decisions toward building a mature software security program and maintaining a robust security posture.
  • How these solutions integrate with the Cloud Control Matrix and the CSA STAR Program best practices to facilitate better security and reduce risk.
