What is Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)?

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is a category of cloud security tools that continuously monitor cloud environments for misconfigurations, compliance violations, and security risks. CSPM provides visibility into cloud resources across providers and flags posture issues that could lead to breaches. Singularity Cloud CSPM goes further by validating which misconfigurations are actually exploitable using Verified Exploit Paths™, so teams prioritize real risk over noise.

How is CSPM different from CNAPP?

CSPM focuses specifically on cloud posture and misconfiguration management. CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) is a broader category that combines CSPM with runtime protection, attack path analysis, data security, and more. SentinelOne’s CSPM is the posture management capability within the Singularity Cloud Security portfolio, working alongside runtime protection, attack path analysis, and data security to deliver unified cloud security.

What are Verified Exploit Paths?

Verified Exploit Paths™ are evidence-backed validations provided by SentinelOne’s Offensive Security Engine that confirm whether a misconfiguration is actually exploitable by an attacker. Instead of alerting on every posture finding equally, Verified Exploit Paths use red-team-style verification to prove which risks can be reached and exploited, helping teams focus remediation on the misconfigurations that pose real danger.

What cloud providers does Singularity Cloud’s CSPM support?

Singularity Cloud Security Posture Management supports AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and Alibaba. Deployment is agentless and connects in minutes, automatically discovering cloud resources across accounts and regions without infrastructure changes or agent installation.

How does CSPM help with compliance?

Singularity Cloud Security Posture Management continuously assesses cloud posture against 2,000+ built-in policy assessments mapped to major frameworks including CIS, SOC 2, the EU AI Act, and NIST. Teams can also create custom policies for organization-specific requirements and generate audit-ready compliance reports on demand, replacing manual evidence collection with continuous monitoring.

Can CSPM detect misconfigurations in real time?

Yes. Singularity Cloud Security Posture Management continuously monitors cloud environments and detects configuration changes as they happen. This provides a continuously current view of your cloud estate rather than the point-in-time snapshots that periodic scanning tools deliver, ensuring new misconfigurations are identified and prioritized before they become incidents.
