Use Cases

CloudGuard supports modern cloud security programs with agentless detection, AI attack-path driven prioritization, and closed-loop remediation tracking. Below are common, clearly differentiated scenarios where teams adopt CloudGuard.

Critical Exposure Remediation

Fix what can be exploited right now

Identify and remediate the most dangerous cloud exposure paths across infrastructure, identities, and configurations by focusing on real-world exploitability.

  • Internet-facing services and reachable network paths
  • Exploitable vulnerabilities with confirmed attack paths
  • Over-privileged, stale, or risky identities and access policies

Pre-Assessment Hardening

Reduce risk before audits and red-team exercises

Systematically eliminate high-impact attack paths ahead of internal reviews, external audits, compliance checks, or offensive security exercises.

  • Attack-path driven hardening instead of checklist-based fixes
  • Clear remediation priorities and ownership
  • Progress tracking and outcome verification

Cloud Security Baseline Assessment

Understand your security posture end to end

Establish a clear baseline of cloud security posture by continuously assessing configurations, identities, and data exposure against best-practice benchmarks.

  • Configuration and identity policy hygiene
  • Storage exposure, encryption, and access controls
  • Account, workload, and service-level security practices

Ransomware & Malware Risk Governance

Disrupt paths that enable destructive impact

Identify and prioritize cloud exposure paths commonly leveraged by ransomware and destructive malware, using non-intrusive analysis suitable for production environments.

  • Privilege escalation and lateral movement paths
  • High-value asset exposure and blast-radius reduction
  • Ongoing tracking of ransomware-relevant risk convergence

Software Supply Chain & Dependency Exposure

Understand risk introduced by vulnerable components

Assess exposure related to vulnerable libraries and dependencies used by cloud workloads, and prioritize remediation based on reachability and potential impact.

  • Dependency exposure visibility across cloud services
  • Contextual prioritization beyond raw vulnerability severity
  • Remediation planning aligned with engineering workflows

Rapid Response to Emerging Vulnerabilities

Answer “are we affected?” immediately

Quickly determine whether newly disclosed vulnerabilities, suspicious identities, or configuration changes create exploitable attack paths in your cloud environment.

  • Immediate scope and affected-asset discovery
  • Attack-path driven prioritization for urgent fixes
  • Verification of risk reduction as changes are applied
