This ebook introduces cloud security fundamentals for financial services, explaining why traditional on-prem and endpoint tools fail in dynamic cloud environments where misconfigurations, identity risk, and short attack timelines dominate. It defines the core cloud security categories CSPM, CDR, and CWPP, and shows how a unified CNAPP brings them together to secure the full application lifecycle from development through runtime. The guide emphasizes continuous posture management, real-time detection and response, runtime protection, and alignment with frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK and the shared responsibility model. Its central message is that financial institutions need unified, automated, cloud-native security to meet regulatory demands, reduce noise, and respond at cloud speed.
