CSPM vs. DSPM: What Security Leaders Need to Know
When comparing CSPM vs. DSPM, the distinction comes down to what each tool actually protects: CSPM secures cloud infrastructure by catching misconfigurations like open ports and missing encryption, while DSPM protects the sensitive data itself by discovering, classifying, and governing who can access it. Most organizations need both, especially as AI workloads create new data-layer risks that infrastructure-focused tools simply can't see or remediate.
