Description

The Cloud Security Agent (CSPM) is the guardian of your cloud infrastructure. In the dynamic world of cloud computing where resources are spun up and down instantly, static security reviews fail. This agent continuously audits your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments against industry best practices (CIS Benchmarks) and your internal security policies. It detects misconfigurations—like open S3 buckets, unencrypted databases, or overly permissive IAM roles—that are the root cause of most cloud breaches.

How it works?

The agent hooks into the cloud provider's APIs (readonly access) to ingest the configuration state of every resource. It utilizes a policy-as-code engine to evaluate these configurations. For example, it checks "Does every security group forbid ingress on port 22 from 0.0.0.0/0?". It handles multi-cloud complexities, normalizing data so you can see a unified view of security posture across AWS and Azure. It also scans Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation) in your git repositories to catch misconfigurations *before* they are deployed.

Key Features

  • Drift Detection: Alerts when infrastructure diverges from the "Golden State" defined in your templates.
  • Identity Security (CIEM): Analyzes IAM permissions to find over-privileged users and roles (e.g., users with Admin access who haven't logged in for 90 days).
  • Cost-Security Correlation: Often identifies security risks that are also cost inefficiencies (e.g., abandoned unattached load balancers).
  • Auto-Remediation: Capable of fixing simple issues automatically (e.g., turning on VPC flow logs) if authorized.
  • Container Security: Scans ECR/ACR images for vulnerabilities and checks Kubernetes cluster configurations.

    • Step by Step

    1
    Connect Grant the agent Cross-Account Role access to your cloud environment.
    2
    Baseline Agent runs a full scan against CIS Foundations Benchmark.
    3
    Prioritize Failures are ranked by risk scoring (Public exposure > Internal encryption).
    4
    Remediate Detailed instructions (CLI commands or Console paths) are provided to fix issues.
    5
    Guardrails Implement pre-deployment checks in CI/CD to prevent bad configs from reaching production.

    Available Integrations

  • Platforms: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud.
  • Containers: Kubernetes, Docker, Helm.
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins.
  • Notification: Slack, PagerDuty, Microsoft Teams.

    • *Note: Hunto AI also customizes each agent, integrations, activity, and output as required by the security teams in different industries.*

    Expected Output

  • Unified Risk Dashboard: Single pane of glass for multi-cloud security posture.
  • Compliance Reports: One-click reports for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOC 2 cloud requirements.
  • IAM Right-Sizing: Recommendations to reduce permission scope (Least Privilege).
  • Zero-Drift Environment: Assurance that production matches your security definitions.
