Vulnerability Management in Cloud Security: A Complete Guide for 2025
This blog stresses evolving from traditional vulnerability management to cloud-native strategies via CNAPP for dynamic environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP. It frames VM as ongoing asset discovery, risk prioritization (using CVSS and AI/ML), automated remediation, and validation to combat threats in ephemeral workloads, containers, and IaC.
- Key shifts: From periodic scans to continuous monitoring and CI/CD integration, addressing 70% of 2025 breaches from unpatched issues and shared responsibility gaps.
- CNAPP benefits include unified visibility, zero-trust, SBOM hygiene, and runtime protection. Best practices: Shift-left DevOps, multi-cloud governance, and threat detection.
- A fintech case via Cy5’s ion slashed remediation time (12 to 3 days), IaC errors (42 to 5/month), and compliance issues, positioning CNAPPs as vital for proactive cloud security.
