CSPM
Cloud Security Posture Management – tooling that assesses deployed cloud environments against security and compliance policies, identifying and prioritizing posture risks for remediation. Its core model is detect-and-remediate: identify risks in the existing cloud environment and help teams address them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Aryon different from CSPM tools?
Aryon prevents risky or non-compliant changes from taking effect by enforcing policy at the cloud layer. CSPM tools are primarily centered on the detect-and-remediate model: assessing the posture of deployed environments, surfacing risks, and helping teams remediate them. Aryon complements that model by preventing policy violations before they become part of the deployed environment.
Does Aryon replace our CSPM or CNAPP tool?
No. Aryon is built to complement what you already run, not replace it. It operates at the deployment layer, a control point that CSPM, vulnerability scanning, and SIEM tools don't cover. Most teams keep their CSPM for the visibility and compliance reporting it's good at, and add Aryon to stop preventable misconfigurations before they generate a finding in the first place.
