Data Security Posture Management, often abbreviated as DSPM, is an advanced security approach designed to help organizations manage and enhance their data security posture across diverse cloud environments. DSPM aims to proactively identify and remediate security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential threats to sensitive data. This groundbreaking approach encompasses “Discovery Plus,” a fusion of data discovery and security management capabilities. Coined by Gartner in April 2022, DSPM addresses the critical need for organizations of all sizes to proactively manage data security risks across their complex and dynamic environments. At the heart of Data Security Posture Management lies the concept of risk management. Security and risk management leaders face the challenge of identifying, understanding, and remediating data security risks effectively. With data becoming increasingly valuable and vulnerable, it’s essential to have a robust strategy to assess and mitigate these risks.
