Start Left® Security's Integrated Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) capability extends traditional CSPM by correlating cloud infrastructure risks back to product teams, CI/CD pipelines, and application-layer context. Traditional CSPM platforms focus primarily on cloud infrastructure and configuration security, leaving gaps in areas such as application-layer visibility, developer behavior monitoring, and attribution of cloud threats to specific development teams or pipelines. Start Left® addresses these gaps by bridging cloud security data with product and business context. Core capabilities span two layers: Start Left® layer: - Code, CI/CD tool discovery and inventory - Application misconfiguration detection - CI/CD security management - Team security baselines - Application CVEs and code/open-source risk assessment - Build process hardening - Continuous controls monitoring - Insider threat detection Integrated CSPM layer: - Cloud inventory and cloud explorer - Secure cloud configuration management - Cloud exposure management - Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) - OS vulnerability management - Container and serverless security - Secrets scanning - Malware scanning The platform attributes CSPM findings back to product teams and CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated detection of active adversarial behaviors and notifying relevant teams. It provides behavioral analytics, security posture lifecycle management, and prioritized remediation guidance. Integration is facilitated via a no-code API. The platform holds US Patents 11,080,162 and 11,288,167.
