To set up CSPM for AWS, first add the CSPM integration, then enable cloud account access.

You can set up CSPM for AWS either by enroling a single cloud account, or by enroling an organization containing multiple accounts. Either way, first you will add the CSPM integration, then enable cloud account access.

For most users, the simplest option is to use AWS CloudFormation to automatically provision the necessary resources and permissions in your AWS account. This method, as well as several manual options, are described below.

=== Manual authentication for organization-level onboarding

NOTE: If you're onboarding a single account instead of an organization, skip this section.

When using manual authentication to onboard at the organization level, you need to configure the necessary permissions using the AWS console for the organization where you want to deploy:

* In the organization's management account (root account), create an IAM role called `cloudbeat-root` (the name is important). The role needs several policies:

IMPORTANT: You must replace `<Management account ID>` in the trust policy with your AWS account ID.

=== Set up cloud account access
To setup CSPM for a GCP project, you will need to have admin privileges for the project.

For most users, the simplest option is to use a Google Cloud Shell script to automatically provision the necessary resources and permissions in your GCP account. This method, as well as two manual options, are described below.

.. Click **Save and continue**, then **Add {agent} to your hosts**. The **Add agent** wizard appears and provides {agent} binaries, which you can download and deploy to a VM in your GCP account.
. Click **Save and continue**.
. Copy the command that appears, then click **Launch Google Cloud Shell**. It opens in a new window.
. Check the box to trust Elastic's `cloudbeat` repo, then click **Confirm**

. In Google Cloud Shell, execute the command you copied earlier. Once it finishes, return to {kib} and wait for the confirmation of data received from your new integration. Then you can click **View Assets** to see your data.

NOTE: During Cloud Shell setup, the CSPM integration adds roles to Google's default service account, which enables custom role creation and attachment of the service account to a compute instance.
After setup, these roles are removed from the service account. If you attempt to delete the deployment but find the deployment manager lacks necessary permissions, consider adding the missing roles to the service account:

The Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) feature discovers and evaluates the services in your cloud environment — like storage, compute, IAM, and more — against configuration security guidelines defined by the https://www.cisecurity.org/[Center for Internet Security] (CIS) to help you identify and remediate risks that could undermine the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your cloud data.

[[cspm-how-it-works]]
== How CSPM works

To set up the CSPM feature, you'll install the CSPM integration for {agent} in your cloud account(s).

Using the read-only credentials you will provide during the setup process, it will evaluate the configuration of resources in your environment every 4 hours.
After each evaluation, the integration sends findings to Elastic. A high-level summary of the findings appears on the <<cloud-nat-sec-posture-dashboard,Cloud posture dashboard>>, and detailed findings appear on the <<findings-page,Findings page>>.
