11 Best CSPM Tools Compared (2026): Features & Pricing
CSPM comparison ranks Wiz first for agentless attack-path analysis; notes Ermetic absorbed into Tenable and Lacework into Fortinet FortiCNAPP.
An editorial comparison of eleven CSPM tools ranks Wiz as the agentless attack-path momentum leader, Prisma Cloud as the breadth benchmark, and Orca as the agentless SideScanning pioneer. It highlights consolidation: Ermetic now powers Tenable Cloud Security and Lacework became Fortinet's FortiCNAPP. The guide recommends starting with free tiers from Defender for Cloud, Prowler, and native cloud tools before buying.
New DDRop Attack Breaks Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP With $159 DDR5 Device
DDRop uses a $159 DDR5 RDIMM interposer to silently drop memory writes and break Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP confidential VMs.
Researchers published DDRop, a physical attack built from about $159 in parts that uses a custom DDR5 RDIMM interposer to inject parity errors and silently discard selected cache-line writebacks. Intel TDX, Intel Scalable SGX, and AMD SEV-SNP are affected because they lack per-line cryptographic freshness, so processors can accept stale encrypted data as valid state. The team demonstrated deterministic plaintext copying between pages, malicious Secure EPT entry injection, forcing trust domains into debug mode, and forging attestation measurements. The attack requires privileged host control plus brief physical access, and researchers say no simple software patch exists.
