Security Posture Management

Security Posture Management (SPM) is a comprehensive approach to managing and improving the overall security status of an organization’s IT environment. It encompasses a range of practices and technologies aimed at ensuring that the organization’s data, applications, and infrastructure are protected against threats and vulnerabilities. The primary objective of SPM is to provide a clear and continuous understanding of the security landscape, enabling proactive and reactive measures to safeguard against potential risks.
