What it is
Continuous checks of cloud accounts in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud against secure settings, plus a view of which workloads are exposed, vulnerable and reachable from the internet.
How to value it
Cloud breaches are rarely clever: an open storage bucket, an exposed database, an over-privileged key. Posture management finds these within minutes of creation and ranks them by real exposure, which matters because cloud teams change settings many times a day.
Questions to ask a vendor
- 1Which cloud providers and services does it cover?
- 2Does it show attack paths, for example an exposed machine with a role that reaches sensitive data?
- 3Can findings go straight into the owning team's backlog?
- 4Is it agentless, and what access does it need to our accounts?
For your risk register
- Risk

- Control
- Continuous cloud posture monitoring, with findings routed to owners.

A starting point: set the owner and measure to fit your organisation.

How we list vendors
- A product is listed because it provides the control. Nobody pays to be listed, and on story pages the examples rotate, so no vendor is always first.
- Vendor pages show both the vendor's own research and the incidents involving its products, from our own coverage. We do not leave either out.
- Our summaries are written by us, based on the vendors' own pages. Text in quotation marks or marked "in their own words" is the vendor's own, quoted from its website.
- Logos, product names and quoted text belong to the vendors and are shown to identify them.
- Something wrong? Use "Suggest a correction" on the vendor's page. A product we should look at? Email support@threatnoir.com.
