Now Available: DigitalOcean Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

Keeping cloud infrastructure secure at scale is challenging. Infrastructure drift, exposed services, and sprawling identities create risk, and teams don’t always have the time or expertise to maintain a consistent security posture across their environments.

To help teams operate reliably in production with clear visibility into potential security issues, today we’re launching DigitalOcean Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM). CSPM provides agentless, in-dashboard visibility into your infrastructure, helping you detect risks, prioritize what matters most, and fix issues fast with guided instructions—all without third-party tools or dedicated security teams.

CSPM continuously evaluates DigitalOcean resources including Droplets and Databases to identify misconfigurations and posture risks. Whether you are running traditional applications or scaling AI inference workloads, CSPM helps you maintain visibility, reduce operational risk, and keep production systems secure. Unlimited free scans are now available for every DigitalOcean customer, and upgraded plans get access to advanced rules, automated guidance, and API integrations as your environment grows. Run your first scan in the DigitalOcean Cloud Console now.

Addressing Common Security Challenges

Teams managing infrastructure often struggle with security visibility, especially across complex architectures. Common challenges include visibility gaps across Droplets and Database services; alert overload with unclear priorities; and remediation friction from complex instructions or external tools.

CSPM helps solve these challenges with a native, agentless experience that prioritizes findings, guides remediation, and integrates directly into the DigitalOcean dashboard and API—helping teams reduce interruptions and maintain predictable performance.

Cloud Security Posture Management Features

CSPM combines simplicity and power to help teams manage security without slowing down operations. Its agentless, integrated approach provides immediate visibility, actionable insights, and guided fixes to help reduce risk as environments grow. Features include:

• Agentless, Zero-Configuration Scans: Start scanning immediately, no agents or workload changes required.
• Prioritized Findings: Misconfigurations grouped by severity help teams focus on high-impact risks first.
• Guided Remediation: Step-by-step instructions with direct links to configuration surfaces make fixes faster and safer.
• Unified Visibility: See CSPM findings alongside other security signals in a single dashboard.
• Freemium → Premium Path: Free baseline scans for all; premium tiers unlock workload rules, advanced prioritization, API access, and automation.

Alongside these features, we’re introducing Security Advisor, a new AI capability under CSPM that brings an intelligent layer to the experience. It summarizes findings, surfaces the highest-impact risks, and helps you move quickly from insight to action.

Scan, prioritize, and fix in minutes

Getting started with CSPM is simple and requires no external tools:

1. Run a scan: Launch scans directly from the Security Console in your dashboard.
2. Review prioritized findings: Misconfigurations are grouped by severity and service for clear actionability.
3. Fix issues fast: Evaluate and apply guided recommendations and re-scan to confirm improvements. Paid tiers add additional AI-assisted, policy-guarded fixes through Security Advisor.

Every DigitalOcean customer can start with unlimited free scans today. Upgrade for advanced rules, automated guidance, and API integrations as your environment grows. Learn more about our pricing and run your first free scan.
