Description

**Describe the Issue**
CSPM in the near future will be installed in multiple BC Gov Clouds, and planning for best practices around this and any options we have for this will be discussed. Establishing a centralized, Multi-Cloud CSPM architecture will be key to proper Cloud Governance, reporting and security/privacy, and be a centerpiece within a Multi-Cloud operations strategy

**Additional Context**
Additionally, how to centralize the use of a Multi-Cloud CSPM using AD credentials and PIM, should be a key topic to review, even in the case of our current AWS implementation and its use right now of KeyCloak. Using AWS AD Sync should be tested either as part of this process or in parrallel at some point.

**Acceptance Criteria**
- Investigate latest best practice architecture options for a CSPM in this context
- Discuss various facets of Multi-Cloud w CSPM/monitoring
- Review architecture best practices/options with CloudGuard
- Review/Discuss with Checkpoint
