  • Visibility–Get complete visibility across your entire cloud estate:

    • Discover your cloud inventory: Comprehensive and uniform inventory across all types of infrastructure across all cloud providers: Compute, APIs, Containers, Serverless, Data, AI Services, Identities, Networks.

    • Visualize asset relationships: Rich relationship graph demonstrates how assets and findings impact each other.

    • Simple, frictionless onboarding: View your entire cloud estate with agentless scanning.

  • Cloud risk assessment–Comprehensive cloud risk assessment across all major cloud security posture domains:

    • Vulnerabilities

    • Misconfigurations

    • Access and permissions

    • Non-human identities and third-party exposure

    • AI risk and supply chain

    • Data exposure, sovereignty, and residency

    • Network exposure

  • Cloud vulnerability management–Vulnerability management across VMs, Containers, Serverless, and OSS packages:

    • Prioritize impactful vulnerabilities with context: Understand environmental factors such as severity, exploitability, patch availability, internet exposure and others.

    • Reduce the number of fixes: AI-driven detection consolidates related vulnerabilities with the same root cause—one fix resolves multiple issues.

    • Track KPIs: Understand Insights about the state of vulnerabilities in cloud native environments and their evolution over time.

  • Compliance–Uniform compliance management:

    • Validate industry regulation with dozens of built-in standards across security, privacy, and AI: PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST, ISO, and more.

    • Meet unique organizational requirements: Create custom compliance rules and standards.

    • Generate audit-ready reports: Export, schedule, and share compliance reports with stakeholders.

  • Attack path analysis:

    • Detect critical risks: Discover combinations of individual risk signals that form attack paths.

    • Overly permissive identities, network exposures, sensitive data, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities

    • Prioritize harmful risks: Uncover which misconfigurations enable lateral movement to high-value assets such as sensitive data stores.

    • Gain end-to-end visibility: Visualize attack paths in a rich graph, gaining full risk context.

  • Cases:

    • Dramatically reduce alerts: AI-driven detection consolidates related risks and attack paths into a high priority case.

    • Enable full context for effective mitigation: Clearly identify high-impact posture issues, preventing wasted resources on less significant threats.

    • Resolve numerous issues with a single action driven by AI and automation.

  • Ecosystem Integration and Automation:

    • Powerful Ecosystem: Cortex Cloud integrates with your entire ecosystem with thousands of third-party integrations ranging from workflow solutions to security vendors.

    • Out Of the Box Remediation Playbooks: Cortex Cloud offers many playbooks for remediating security issues to reduce MTTR.

    • Build your own Remediation Playbooks: Cortex Cloud offers a no code automation wizard to build your own security playbooks.
