Implementation timelines for CSPM vary but can range from a few weeks to several months, depending on the complexity of the cloud environment.
There are typical challenges encountered during this process, which include the need for clearly defined policies, the requirement to integrate CSPM solutions with pre-existing workflows effectively, and the necessity of aligning the automated remediation processes with the DevOps practices already in place.
To handle these challenges more effectively, a phased rollout of CSPM is often recommended. Starting to gain comprehensive visibility into the cloud environment’s security posture can help organizations mitigate deployment challenges gradually. This approach allows for a smoother transition and more effective implementation of CSPM practices.
