CSPM, CWPP and CNAPP: Cloud Security Explained
This technical explainer describes three cloud security categories: CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) which continuously audits cloud configuration for misconfigurations and compliance; CWPP (Cloud Workload Protection Platform) which protects workloads (VMs, containers, serverless) across build and runtime; and CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) which unifies CSPM and CWPP plus additional layers (CIEM, IaC scanning, DSPM, secrets scanning, KSPM) to correlate findings into prioritized attack paths. The article covers origins (Gartner coined the terms), practical use cases, vendor examples, recommended adoption sequence, and operational best practices such as shift-left scanning and prioritizing by attack path rather than isolated severity.
AI Agents Getting Keys to Production Sparks Governance Risk
The article warns that wiring AI agents (via Model Context Protocol servers) to internal systems lets agents autonomously access production databases, repositories, APIs and deployments, creating major auditability and access-control gaps. The author compares current MCP adoption to early microservices: rapid adoption without governance. Security researchers found ~1,800 MCP servers exposed to the public internet, many accepting unauthenticated requests. Proper governance requires a single gateway layer, per-person identity, tool-level permissions and immutable audit logs. The post also describes mcpnest.io, a governed MCP gateway offering per-member access, tool permissions and a protocol-level audit log that stores metadata only and is EU-resident.
