Here are the seven questions that actually separate platforms — with Onam's answers on the record, and a checklist to run against every vendor on your list.

Statistical behavioral baselines catch incremental privilege escalation. ML anomaly detection catches the rest. Here's why you need all three.

AI-powered remediation — context-aware code fixes, Ansible playbooks for CVEs, and threat narratives — is how we close that gap.

The ones that actually lead to breaches are the ones that chain together — and most tools can't show you which chains are dangerous.

FAIR answers the question your board actually cares about: what does this attack surface cost if it's breached? Here's how we apply it at Onam.

Engineering Tue, 05 May 2026 18:30:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cspm https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cspm Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is the continuous, automated inspection of cloud infrastructure configuration for misconfigurations, policy violations and compliance drift. It reads cloud provider APIs to evaluate resources — storage buckets, databases, security groups, IAM roles — against a rule set, then reports what is misconfigured and how to fix it. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cnapp https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cnapp A Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) is a single platform that combines cloud posture management, workload protection, identity entitlement analysis, data security and runtime threat detection on one shared data model — so risks that span those domains are correlated rather than reported separately. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cwpp https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cwpp A Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) secures the compute workloads running in a cloud environment — virtual machines, containers, serverless functions and managed hosts — by inspecting what is installed and running inside them, rather than how the surrounding cloud infrastructure is configured. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/ciem https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/ciem Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) determines the effective permissions of every identity in a cloud environment — human users, service accounts and machine identities — after policies, role chains, service control policies and permission boundaries are resolved, then compares that against permissions actually used. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/dspm https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/dspm Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) discovers where sensitive data resides across cloud storage, databases and warehouses, classifies it by sensitivity, and determines which identities and network paths can reach it — shifting the security question from how a store is configured to what is actually inside it and who can read it. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/sspm https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/sspm SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) continuously assesses the configuration and identity posture of SaaS applications — such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, GitHub and Snowflake — detecting misconfigured sharing settings, unprotected admin accounts, excessive permissions and disabled audit logging. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cloud-attack-path https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cloud-attack-path A cloud attack path is a chain of individually low- or medium-severity findings that together create a route from an entry point — usually the public internet — to a high-value asset such as a database holding sensitive data. Attack path analysis computes these chains across posture, identity, network and workload data. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/agentless-cloud-security https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/agentless-cloud-security Agentless cloud security assesses cloud infrastructure and workloads without installing any software on them. Configuration is read through cloud provider APIs with read-only credentials, and workload contents are inspected by analysing point-in-time volume snapshots out-of-band, so nothing runs on the systems being scanned. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cloud-risk-quantification https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/cloud-risk-quantification Cloud risk quantification is the practice of expressing security risk as a financial figure — a probable dollar loss — rather than a severity label or a proprietary score. It commonly uses the FAIR model (Factor Analysis of Information Risk), which combines how often a loss event is likely to occur with how much that event would cost. Learn Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/choke-point https://www.onamsecurity.com/learn/choke-point A choke point is a single resource — often an over-privileged identity or a shared network node — that appears on a large number of distinct attack paths. Because so many routes pass through it, remediating one choke point removes more risk than fixing many isolated findings, which makes it the highest-leverage fix in a cloud environment.
