Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is being redefined as two forces collide: Cloud environments are becoming more interconnected—spanning workloads, identities, data, APIs, and development pipelines—while security teams must reduce risk faster with fewer tools and less time.
Frost & Sullivan’s 2025 Frost Radar™ for Cloud Security Posture Management points to a structural shift: CSPM is no longer a periodic compliance exercise. It’s a continuous, risk‑based governance layer inside modern cloud native application protection platforms (CNAPPs). Frost & Sullivan projects the CSPM market will grow from $2.82 billion in 2025 to $6.96 billion by 2030 at a 19.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR)—reflecting the growing shift from standalone posture tools to integrated, platform‑based approaches.
A cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP) brings together posture, workload protection, identity and entitlement management, and related controls to secure applications across the full lifecycle—from development through runtime operations.
Frost & Sullivan’s analysis also reinforces Microsoft’s position among leading CSPM providers, with…
