Cloud Misconfiguration Discovery

It identifies and analyzes misconfigurations in an organization's cloud infrastructure, applications, and services. It involves using automated tools and manual methods to identify and assess potential security vulnerabilities and risks caused by misconfigurations.

Cloud misconfiguration discovery can include:

  • Scanning the organization's cloud environment for misconfigurations

  • Identifying misconfigurations in cloud infrastructure, such as insecure access controls, open ports, and misconfigured firewall rules

  • Identifying misconfigurations in cloud applications, such as missing security patches or weak authentication

  • Analyzing the organization's cloud environment to identify potential vulnerabilities and risks caused by misconfigurations.

Misconfigurations can occur due to human errors, such as accidentally leaving a port open or not applying security patches, but also due to lack of oversight, not following best practices, or not correctly configuring security settings.

ThreatNG can help with cloud misconfiguration discovery by identifying potential security risks and misconfigurations in cloud-based assets, facilitating remediation, and improving cloud security posture. It also helps organizations to comply with security regulations and standards.
