DYNAMIC CLOUD SENTINEL FRAMEWORK (DCSF) FOR CSPM AND OPTIMAL SECURITY IN DYNAMIC CLOUD ECOSYSTEMS

Abstract

            Abstract – The current cloud enterprises are expecting a robust Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) in orchestrating security across cloud ecosystems. Hence, this research investigates the current CSPM platforms in streamline security assessments, automating policy enforcement, and enhanced incident response. By focusing on the dynamic nature of cloud environments, the study demonstrates how CSPM acts as a sentinel, vigilantly guarding against misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. The proposed Dynamic Cloud Sentinel Framework (DCSF) includes Automated Configuration Audits (ACA), Real-Time Threat Intelligence Integration (RTII), Policy Enforcement Automation (PEA), Incident Response Orchestration (IRO), Case Study Analysis (CSA), and Continuous Improvement and Adaptation (CIA). Also through the comprehensive analysis and real-world case studies, this paper highlights the transformative power of CSPM in reinforcing cloud security. Practical insights and methodologies are presented to underscore the effectiveness of CSPM in maintaining robust security postures in ever-evolving cloud landscapes.
