A Practical Guide to Gartner’s Cloud Security Archetypes

339 Less than a minute

The cloud security solutions market is growing rapidly and there are many types of solutions to support your specific business needs. But figuring out the right tool, let alone the right type of tool, can be difficult. This guide distills the main concepts of five archetypes that fall under the broader cloud security management platform umbrella:

	Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB),
	Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP),
	Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM),
	Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM), and
	Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP).

Gartner developed and defined these archetypes, which often overlap in terms of capabilities, to provide businesses with analysis that better informs their decision making. The last two, CIEM and CNAPP, are recent additions.
