🛡️ Free practice test question from: Cloud security (Security+)

The multi-cloud migration has exposed a fundamental challenge in cloud security: configuration complexity. The statistic that 80% of cloud vulnerabilities stem from misconfigurations highlights a crucial point - technology itself isn't the primary security weakness; human error in configuration is.

Why CSPM is the Most Effective Solution: Imagine CSPM as a continuous, intelligent security guardian that:

→ Automatically scans your entire cloud environment across multiple providers

→ Identifies misconfigurations in real-time

→ Provides automated remediation recommendations

→ Ensures consistent security policy enforcement

While implementing MFA is a crucial security measure to protect against credential theft, it addresses a smaller portion of vulnerabilities compared to misconfigurations.
