How does CSPM differ from CWPP?

CSPM scans cloud infrastructure configurations (IAM, storage, networks, databases) to detect misconfigurations. CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform) protects running workloads through runtime monitoring and threat detection. CSPM focuses on “what’s configured wrong,” while CWPP focuses on “what’s behaving suspiciously.”

What HIPAA controls does CSPM address?

CSPM validates HIPAA Technical Safeguards including: Access Controls (§164.312(a)): Unique user IDs, encryption controls Audit Controls (§164.312(b)): Logging and monitoring configurations Integrity Controls (§164.312(c)): Protection from improper alteration Transmission Security (§164.312(e)): Encryption in transit

Can CSPM scan on-premise healthcare systems?

AccuKnox CSPM supports on-premise deployment for air-gapped healthcare environments. While cloud-focused, the platform can be deployed locally to scan private cloud infrastructure and hybrid environments.

How does CSPM handle false positives?

AccuKnox reduces false positives through: Context-aware risk scoring Business logic customization Exception management Custom baseline creation Tunable alert thresholds

What cloud services does CSPM scan?

AccuKnox scans 100+ cloud services including Compute: EC2, Lambda, Azure VMs, Cloud Functions Storage: S3, EBS, Azure Blob, Cloud Storage Databases: RDS, DynamoDB, Azure SQL, Cloud SQL Networking: VPC, Security Groups, NSG, Firewall Rules Identity: IAM, Azure AD, GCP IAM Security: CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Center

How long does CSPM implementation take?

Initial deployment: 1-2 hours to connect cloud accounts Baseline configuration: 1-2 days to tune policies Full production deployment: 1-2 weeks including integrations

Does CSPM impact cloud performance?

No. CSPM uses agentless API-based scanning that does not impact workload performance or patient care system availability.

How does CSPM pricing work?

Pricing depends on: Number of cloud accounts Number of assets/resources Scan frequency requirements Deployment model (SaaS vs on-premise) GET A CUSTOM QUOTE

What integrations does CSPM support?

SIEM: Splunk, Azure Sentinel, Chronicle SOAR: Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR Ticketing: ServiceNow, Jira, Azure DevOps Messaging: Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty Identity: Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity

What is CSPM for Healthcare?

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) for healthcare continuously monitors cloud infrastructure to detect misconfigurations, enforce HIPAA compliance, and prevent unauthorized access to Protected Health Information (PHI).

Regulatory Compliance Challenges

HIPAA & HITECH

Mandate strict protection of patient data, breach notifications, and secure electronic record practices.

Continuous Compliance

Requires real-time monitoring to detect configuration drift between audits.

State Privacy Laws

Impose additional regional data protection and reporting requirements.

Healthcare Security Issues CSPM Solves

Critical Assets: Exposed storage, overprivileged IAM roles, misconfigured networks, unencrypted PHI, and non-compliant databases.
Key Threats: PHI breaches, data exposure, insider misuse, and ransomware attacks.
Protection Focus: Secure cloud configurations, enforce least privilege, encrypt PHI, and harden backups.

Functional Capabilities of CSPM for Healthcare

Multi-Cloud Asset Inventory

Comprehensive visibility across AWS, Azure, and GCP:

EC2 instances running EHR applications
S3 buckets and Azure Blob storage containing patient data
RDS and Cloud SQL databases with PHI
Lambda functions processing medical records
VPCs and security groups protecting healthcare networks
IAM roles and service accounts accessing patient systems

Misconfiguration Detection

Continuous scanning against benchmarks:

CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and GCP
HIPAA Technical Safeguards (§164.312)
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
PCI DSS for payment processing systems
Custom healthcare security baselines

Detection includes:

Publicly accessible storage containing PHI
Unencrypted databases and data at rest
Missing MFA on privileged accounts
Overly permissive security groups
Disabled logging and monitoring
Non-compliant backup configurations

Compliance Monitoring

Automated compliance validation:

HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule
HITECH breach notification requirements
State healthcare privacy laws
PCI DSS (payment systems)
GDPR (international patients)
ISO 27001, SOC 2

Audit-ready reporting:

Generate compliance reports in minutes
Map findings to regulatory requirements
Export evidence for OCR audits
Track remediation progress
Demonstrate continuous monitoring

Risk Prioritization

Context-aware risk scoring:

Prioritize exposures affecting PHI
Correlate findings across resources
Identify attack paths to sensitive data
Score by business impact
Focus remediation on critical issues

Automated Remediation

Policy-as-code enforcement:

Auto-fix common misconfigurations
Apply least-privilege IAM policies
Enforce encryption requirements
Enable logging and monitoring
Remediate through API or CLI

Integration capabilities:

ServiceNow ticketing
Jira workflow automation
Slack/Teams notifications
SIEM integration (Splunk, Azure Sentinel)
