What is multi-cloud vulnerability management?

Multi-cloud vulnerability management is the continuous process of identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities across all your cloud environments, whether they’re public, private, or hybrid.

By taking this proactive approach to stay ahead of threats, you can prevent data breaches, reduce financial risks, and ensure compliance with laws and regulations. In addition to helping you patch up weaknesses, vulnerability management helps you continuously strengthen your security defenses.

How is vulnerability management in the cloud different from traditional setups?

In the cloud, vulnerability management faces unique challenges not seen in traditional on-premises setups. Cloud services are ever-changing, constantly provisioning and deprovisioning ephemeral resources to meet scaling needs. Unlike traditional IT environments with static assets, cloud environments are dynamic, with services and configurations that frequently change. Because cloud environments are so dynamic, security teams require a more automated and integrated approach to effectively tracking and securing assets.
