How It Works
Our security scanning engine continuously monitors your cloud resources and identifies:- Misconfigurations: Incorrect security settings
- Vulnerabilities: Known security weaknesses
- Compliance Violations: Deviations from security standards
- Access Issues: Overly permissive access controls
Scanning Types
Continuous Scanning
Automated scans that run on a schedule to continuously monitor your infrastructure:- Daily Scans: Regular comprehensive security checks
- Real-time Monitoring: Immediate detection of changes
- Scheduled Scans: Customizable scan schedules
On-Demand Scanning
Run scans manually when needed:- Immediate Results: Get instant security assessments
- Targeted Scans: Scan specific resources or regions
- Compliance Checks: Verify compliance status
Event-Driven Scanning
Automatic scans triggered by infrastructure changes:- Configuration Changes: Scan when resources are modified
- New Resources: Automatically scan newly created resources
- Policy Updates: Re-scan when policies change
