Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) evaluates your DigitalOcean resources for misconfigurations and security risks, surfaces findings by severity, and provides guidance to help you resolve them.

The DigitalOcean API

The DigitalOcean API lets you manage resources programmatically with standard HTTP requests. All actions available in the control panel are also available through the API.

You can use the API to create CSPM scans, list affected resources for findings, and update CSPM plan settings.

The DigitalOcean Command Line Client, doctl

doctl is the command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API. It supports most of the same actions available in the API and DigitalOcean Control Panel.

doctl supports managing CSPM scans from the command line. See the doctl documentation or run doctl security --help.
