Cloud Attack Surface Defense

See your entire cloud attack surface. Act on threats before they spread.

ManySignal inventories AWS, Azure, and GCP every 15 minutes, correlates real-time CloudTrail and Activity Log events for active attacks, and links cross-cloud identity activity to catch lateral movement that single-cloud tools miss.

How cloud attack surface defense works

Asset discovery

Every 15 minutes, ManySignal polls your cloud provider APIs to inventory compute, storage, network, and IAM resources. New assets appear in the entity graph within one cycle.

Configuration posture

CIS Benchmark checks run against every asset at discovery time. Drifted configurations — public S3 buckets, overprivileged IAM roles, unencrypted volumes — open as findings with remediation guidance.

Active attack detection

CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, and GCP Audit Log stream in real time. The detection engine correlates events for API key abuse, privilege escalation, credential misuse, and data exfiltration patterns.

Cross-cloud correlation

The entity graph links identities across cloud providers. Lateral movement from a compromised AWS credential into Azure or GCP triggers a cross-cloud attack path alert.

Cloud defense outcomes

100% cloud asset inventory in 15 minutes

Every compute, storage, network, and IAM resource discovered and tracked from day one.

Active attack and posture in one platform

No separate CSPM tool needed. Configuration posture and active detection run in the same pipeline.

Cross-cloud lateral movement detection

The only platform that correlates identity activity across AWS, Azure, and GCP into a single attack timeline.

CIS Benchmark compliance tracking

Real-time posture scoring against CIS Benchmarks for all three major cloud providers.

Automated remediation for common findings

One-click or auto-remediation for S3 public access, overprivileged IAM, and unencrypted storage findings.

Cloud response actions built in

Revoke keys, quarantine instances, and remove public access without leaving the incident case.

Cloud attack surface — common questions

How quickly does ManySignal discover new cloud assets?

Asset discovery runs every 15 minutes via cloud provider APIs. New EC2 instances, Azure VMs, GCP compute resources, S3 buckets, storage accounts, and IAM principals appear in the entity graph within one polling cycle. Configuration drift is detected on the same cycle.

Does ManySignal detect active attacks or only misconfigurations?

Both simultaneously. The platform ingests CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, and GCP Audit Log in real time for active attack detection (API abuse, credential misuse, lateral movement). A separate configuration scanner runs every 15 minutes for posture drift. Both feed the same triage and response pipeline.

How does cross-cloud lateral movement detection work?

ManySignal maintains an entity graph that links users across cloud providers. When a credential is used in AWS and then unusual Azure activity follows within a short window, the correlation engine flags this as potential cross-cloud lateral movement — something single-cloud SIEMs miss by design.

What cloud compliance frameworks does ManySignal map to?

Detections map to CIS Benchmarks (AWS, Azure, GCP), NIST CSF, SOC 2 Type II control objectives, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001. Compliance posture dashboards update in real time as configuration findings open and close.

Can ManySignal respond to cloud threats automatically?

Yes. Approved response actions include: revoke IAM key, quarantine EC2 instance, disable Azure AD user, remove S3 bucket public access, and rotate compromised credentials. Each action requires approval per your configured autonomy policy before execution.

How does ManySignal cover serverless and container workloads, not just VMs?

ManySignal monitors Lambda/Functions execution logs, ECS/EKS API server audit logs, and container runtime telemetry for anomalous behavior. Unusual Lambda invocation patterns (unexpected event sources, data exfiltration via response payloads), container breakout attempts, and privilege escalation within Kubernetes RBAC are all detected. Container identities are tracked in the entity graph with their associated service accounts and namespace permissions.

What is the difference between CSPM and what ManySignal provides for cloud security?

CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) tools scan for misconfiguration at a point in time. ManySignal adds behavioral detection — it monitors what is happening in the cloud environment in real time, correlates configuration state with live activity, and identifies attacks that exploit correctly configured resources through compromised credentials. ManySignal ingests CSPM findings from Wiz, Orca, Prisma Cloud, and AWS Security Hub and correlates them with behavioral telemetry to prioritize which misconfigurations are being actively exploited.

How does ManySignal handle cloud environments that span multiple AWS accounts and Azure subscriptions?

ManySignal's entity graph maintains a unified view across all connected accounts, subscriptions, and projects. IAM principals, resources, and activity events from separate cloud accounts are correlated when they share common identities — a user who has roles in three AWS accounts appears as a single entity with access to all three. Cross-account lateral movement (role assumption chaining across accounts) is detected as a compound attack pattern, not separate unrelated events.

Can ManySignal detect when a cloud-native service is being abused for command and control or data exfiltration?

Yes. ManySignal monitors usage of cloud-native services that attackers abuse for C2 and exfiltration: S3 bucket creation followed by data upload from a compromised workload, Lambda functions making unexpected external API calls, CloudFront distributions created to proxy traffic, and SNS/SQS queues receiving unusual message volumes. These patterns are detected as anomalies against the baseline usage for the involved cloud services and account.
