Cloud security posture management refers to IT security technologies made to find cloud misconfiguration problems and compliance threats as well as to continuously check the cloud infrastructure for a lack of compliance with security policy. It is used by businesses that wish to extend their security best practices to hybrid and multi-cloud systems and have embraced a cloud-first strategy. Although CSPM is frequently linked to infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud services, the technology can also be utilized in software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) cloud settings to decrease configuration errors and lower compliance risks.
The main components of cloud security posture management are solutions and services. Solutions are used to integrate disparate systems, improve project risks and reduce time to value. A cloud computing solution is a method that offers all components of an IT solution as part of a single offer. The organization sizes are large enterprises and small & medium enterprises. The cloud models are infrastructure-as-a-service (iaas), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), software-as-a-service (saas). The verticals include bfsi, healthcare, retail, trade, it, telecommunication, and the public sector.

This cloud security posture management market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cloud security posture management market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.92 billion in 2024 to $5.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased adoption of cloud computing, growing concerns about data breaches and cybersecurity threats, compliance requirements and regulations for data protection, rapid migration of businesses to cloud-based infrastructure, complexity of managing security in multi-cloud environments.
The cloud security posture management market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued growth of cloud adoption across industries, rise in the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, expansion of hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, emphasis on automation and orchestration in cloud security, increased focus on real-time monitoring and response capabilities. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ml) in security posture management, development of cloud-native security solutions, convergence of cloud security posture management (CSPM) with other security tools, growing importance of devops in cloud security strategies, integration of zero-trust security principles in cloud environments.
The significant growth of cloud security posture management (CSPM) is being driven by a substantial increase in internet usage for employment, education, and leisure activities. This surge in internet users is attributed to various factors, making it one of the most rapidly advancing technologies. Consequently, there has been a heightened demand for CSPM solutions. This demand is fueled by the sharp rise in bandwidth requirements and an unexpected increase in cyberattacks, including ransomware, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and other threats. For example, in June 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a US government agency, reported that internet adoption among lower-income households grew from 69% in 2021 to 73% in 2023 for those earning under $25,000 annually. Additionally, 72% of individuals lived in households with both fixed and mobile internet connections in 2023, up from 69% in 2021. As a result, the need to secure data amid increasing internet usage and cyber threats has become a primary concern for customers, leading to a positive shift in the demand for cloud security posture management.
The rising adoption of cloud services among companies is anticipated to drive the growth of the cloud security posture management (CSPM) market in the coming years. Cloud services encompass a wide array of IT resources delivered via the internet, allowing companies and individuals to access them without the need for maintenance or upgrades. Implementing CSPM within cloud services is essential for establishing a secure and compliant cloud environment, protecting cloud infrastructure from potential threats and vulnerabilities, and ensuring adherence to privacy regulations and industry standards. For example, in December 2023, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistics office responsible for producing exceptional data and indicators for cross-national comparisons across Europe, reported a significant increase in cloud computing adoption within the European Union. According to Eurostat, 45.2% of enterprises in the EU utilized cloud computing services, marking a notable rise from previous years. This trend was particularly pronounced among large enterprises, with 77.6% adopting cloud solutions. The most commonly used types of cloud services included email solutions (37.4%), file storage (30.7%), and office software (30%). Thus, the growing adoption of cloud services by companies is driving the demand for security posture management solutions.
New product innovation is the key trend gaining popularity in cloud security posture management. Major companies operating in the cloud security posture management market are focused on developing new technological solutions to strengthen their position. For instance, in May 2023, WithSecure, a Finland-based cloud security posture management firm, launched a novel module for its WithSecure Elements security platform that detects unsafe cloud settings used by attackers to infiltrate networks. Cloud Security Posture Management is an innovative module for WithSecure Elements, a cloud-based security platform that allows enterprises to customize and choose the capabilities they want through several modules. The module is designed to handle risks associated with flaws and misconfigurations in major cloud-based IaaS systems. From the outset, both AWS and Microsoft Azure are supported. Cloud Security Posture Management features supplement WithSecure Elements' safeguarding of endpoints, endpoint identification and reaction, vulnerability management, and team protection modules to guarantee enterprises' cloud migration incorporates security.
Major companies operating in the cloud security posture management market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to launch innovative products. Strategic partnerships refer to a process in which companies leverage each other's strengths and resources to achieve mutual benefits and success. For instance, in June 2023, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., an Israel-based company specializing in cloud security posture management and cybersecurity, announced a partnership with Telus Corporation, a Canada-based telecommunications and cloud security posture management company, to introduce the TELUS Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) solution in Canada. TELUS CSPM, which is powered by Check Point's AI-based threat detection and high-precision posture management technology, offers a comprehensive managed solution for Canadian enterprises that helps track cloud security posture in real-time as well as detect, remediate, and report on vulnerabilities. This collaboration is an essential step in enabling Telus Corporation businesses to thrive in a digital future by assisting enterprises of all sizes in safely managing their cloud security.
