When Security Sleeps, Cloud Risk Grows

 When Security Sleeps, Cloud Risk Grows

The IAM role was harmless at first—read-only access for monitoring.
Then it was granted write access “just for testing.”
Two months later, that elevated permission was still active.
Nobody noticed until the security team began a breach investigation.

This isn’t rare. It’s routine.

Cloud teams operate in dynamic environments.
Resources are spun up and torn down daily.
Access is granted quickly—revoked slowly, if at all.
Manual reviews can’t keep pace. And legacy compliance tools are always one step behind.

That’s why reactive security fails in the cloud.

Cloudshot replaces outdated security workflows with continuous monitoring, instant alerts, and real-time compliance tracking across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

It’s not another noisy alert system.
It’s a quiet layer of always-on defense.

🔍 Real-Time Configuration Auditing
Scans for insecure resource settings as they change

🧾 Live IAM Policy Analysis
Catches permissions drift, token misuse, and role mismanagement

🚨 Smart Alerts That Prioritize Impact
No more alert fatigue—just actionable signals

📋 Automated Compliance Tracking
Constantly checks your environment against standards like SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, GDPR

Cloudshot doesn't wait for audits to reveal flaws.
It finds them before they become liabilities.

✅ 24/7 Infrastructure Scanning
Your cloud is checked continuously—not quarterly
Violations and drift are surfaced in real time

✅ IAM Oversight with Context
Tracks every change in privileges
Maps risky roles back to users and timelines

✅ Unified Security for Multi-Cloud Environments

A fintech customer recently discovered an exposed storage bucket tied to a forgotten test service.
Cloudshot flagged the exposure and traced it to a stale IAM token.
The fix took minutes. The prevention saved weeks of damage control.

In a world where cloud changes don’t sleep, your security can’t either.

With Cloudshot, it doesn’t have to.

From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Forecasting Cloud Costs With Accuracy

Image
  From Spreadsheets to Strategy: Forecasting Cloud Costs With Accuracy Cloud budgets keep rising—but visibility doesn’t. If you’re still forecasting with last month’s invoice and manual Excel sheets, you’re not forecasting. You’re reacting. And by the time those costs surface in your next quarterly review, it’s already too late. Why Forecasting Is Broken in the Cloud Era The pace of cloud changes far exceeds traditional planning tools. CFOs want precision—but finance teams lack the context, and engineering teams lack forecasting tools. Usage Fluctuates by the Hour Engineers scale infrastructure for projects and forget teardown. Forecasts miss these swings entirely. No Connection Between Spend and Purpose Finance sees a jump in AWS bills, but they don’t know it’s due to a temporary initiative—like a product relaunch. Seasonal and Dev Cycle Patterns Get Ignored Static models can’t predict expected bursts tied to promotions or quarter ends. Reactive Planning Drains ...

Prevent Audit Failures with Visual Cloud Policy Mapping

Image
  Prevent Audit Failures with Visual Cloud Policy Mapping The countdown begins—five days to your next compliance audit. And suddenly your Slack is flooded: “Do our IAM roles reflect prod accurately?” “Who owns access to that third-party integration?” “Did anyone update the audit logs?” Instead of focusing on strategic initiatives, engineers are digging through outdated permissions, juggling spreadsheets, and hoping no gaps surface. Visibility Gaps, Not Tool Gaps, Cause Audit Issues Most compliance failures aren’t due to negligence—they’re due to incomplete visibility. SaaS teams think they’re secure until auditors demand: Proof of Principle of Least Privilege A consistent policy structure across environments Evidence that access hasn’t drifted And that’s where it breaks. Zombie Permissions Old accounts that never got cleaned up, but still retain critical access. Manual Reviews That Miss Policy Sprawl PDFs can’t catch when a staging policy quietly overr...
