Securing your cloud infrastructure can be a challenging task, especially when dealing with issues like infrastructure drift, exposed services, and sprawling identities. These risks can create vulnerabilities that may be difficult to detect and address in a timely manner, especially for teams that lack the expertise or resources to maintain a consistent security posture across their environments.
To address these challenges and help teams ensure the reliability and security of their production environments, DigitalOcean has launched a new tool called Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). This tool provides teams with agentless visibility into their infrastructure directly within the DigitalOcean dashboard, allowing them to easily identify potential security risks, prioritize important issues, and quickly resolve any issues with guided instructions – all without the need for third-party tools or dedicated security teams.
CSPM continuously monitors DigitalOcean resources such as Droplets and Databases to identify misconfigurations and posture risks that could leave your systems vulnerable to attacks. Whether you are running traditional applications or scaling AI workloads, CSPM can help you maintain visibility, reduce operational risks, and keep your production systems secure.
One of the key benefits of CSPM is its simplicity and ease of use. Teams can start scanning their infrastructure immediately without the need for agents or complex setup processes. The tool also prioritizes findings based on severity, making it easier for teams to focus on addressing high-impact risks first. Additionally, CSPM provides step-by-step instructions for remediation and integrates seamlessly with the DigitalOcean dashboard and API, reducing the need for external tools and streamlining the security management process.
In addition to these features, DigitalOcean is introducing a new AI capability called Security Advisor under CSPM. This intelligent layer helps summarize findings, highlight the most critical risks, and guide teams towards taking prompt action to address security issues.
Getting started with CSPM is straightforward and does not require any external tools. Users can initiate scans directly from the Security Console in their DigitalOcean dashboard, review prioritized findings, and apply guided recommendations to fix any issues quickly. Paid tiers offer additional AI-assisted fixes through Security Advisor, as well as advanced rules, automated guidance, and API integrations to support growing environments.
Unlimited free scans are now available for all DigitalOcean customers, allowing teams to assess the security of their infrastructure at no additional cost. For those looking to access more advanced features, such as automated guidance and API integrations, upgrading to a premium plan is recommended.
