What are two benefits of Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) over other solutions? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Aguaranteed proof of concept (POC) extensions beyond 30 days
• Bnative integration of network, endpoint, and cloud data to stop attacks
• Celimination of blind spots
• Dproactive addressing of risks

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  10% (4)
• C
  88% (36)

Explanation

CSPM tools continuously scan cloud environments to identify misconfigurations, compliance gaps, and vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them - this eliminates blind spots (C) by providing comprehensive visibility across cloud resources that might otherwise go unmonitored, and it proactively addresses risks (D) by flagging issues in real time rather than waiting for breaches to occur.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because CSPM has nothing to do with POC extensions - that's a vendor sales/licensing concept, not a security capability.
• B describes a different solution category: XDR (Extended Detection and Response), which natively integrates network, endpoint, and cloud telemetry for threat correlation. CSPM focuses on posture (configuration and compliance), not cross-domain detection.

Memory tip: Think of CSPM as a cloud auditor that never sleeps - it removes blind spots by seeing everything, and it's proactive because it finds problems before attackers do. If an answer sounds like it belongs to a firewall, SIEM, or XDR product, it's not CSPM.
