What data is gathered to detect misconfigurations, compliance gaps, and policy violations across a hosted environment, providing a consolidated view of potential security risks?
Logs from a posture solution that identifies security gaps, policy violations, and compliance issues in resources
Records from a local firewall that logs inbound and outbound port-based activity in on-premise devices
Metrics from a repository that displays syntax anomalies and version tracking for application code
Data from a network intrusion detection system that captures suspicious traffic patterns across a local segment
Logs from a solution that surveys hosted resources for policy violations and security issues allow teams to pinpoint potential misconfigurations quickly. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solutions gather this information to uncover any resource deviations, such as unauthorized network settings or noncompliant workload configurations. The other options reference data specific to on-premise defenses, suspicious network traffic, or code development metrics, which do not address the posture status of deployed services in a hosted environment.
