Multi-cloud security

Cloud Security for AWS, Azure & GCP — in deep detail.

Connect a read-only role and we continuously assess posture, identities, data, workloads and threats across every cloud. CSPM, CWPP, CIEM, CNAPP, KSPM and DSPM in one place — risk-ranked by AI and mapped to CIS, PCI, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and NIST.

What we secure

A complete CNAPP for every cloud

One platform across posture, workloads, identities, data, Kubernetes and runtime — correlated into prioritised attack paths.

CSPMPosture & misconfiguration management.
CWPPWorkloads — VMs, containers, serverless.
CIEMEntitlements & least-privilege for identities.
CNAPPUnified cloud-native protection.
KSPMKubernetes security posture.
DSPMData posture & sensitive-data discovery.
IaC SecurityTerraform, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep.
Container & RegistryImage CVE & secret scanning.
Runtime DetectionAnomaly & attack detection.

Deep coverage, per cloud

Every native control, service and check we assess — identity, posture, network, data, workloads and detection.

Risk

Common cloud misconfigurations we catch

The issues behind most cloud breaches — flagged, prioritised and paired with the fix.

🪣
