About the session

Cloud security today can feel like acronym bingo - CSPM, CWPP, CNAPP, CIEM, IAM, PAM - and every vendor claims to “do it all.” The reality? Overlapping tools, identity blind spots, and wasted budget.

Watch as David van Heerden as we cut through the marketing noise and broke down what really matters: CIEM vs. CNAPP vs. CSPM. You’ll learn where each solution fits, where they overlap, and why identity entitlements remain the weakest link in your cloud security strategy.
