Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

VerityLayer now includes a fully integrated Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) module to monitor your organization's cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

Connect Your Environments

We use agentless, API-driven scanning with tightly scoped Read-Only permissions.
  • Go to Cloud Security > Connections in your VerityLayer dashboard.
  • Select your provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Follow the guided setup to deploy our predefined Cross-Account IAM Role (AWS), Service Principal (Azure), or Service Account (GCP).
  • Enter the resulting ARN or ID into the connection form and click Connect.
  • IaC Security Review

    The platform provides an IaC Scanner for your Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes manifests: * Upload resource templates directly via the UI in Cloud Security > IaC Review. * Automated scanning checks against hundreds of real-time security policies for misconfigurations BEFORE they reach production. * Issues are directly linked to compliance control failures (e.g. SOC2, ISO27001).

    Real-Time Misconfiguration Engine

    Once connected, VerityLayer continuously polls your cloud environments for changes: * S3 buckets becoming public * Security Groups allowing 0.0.0.0/0 on sensitive ports like 22 or 3389 * Missing encryption on EBS volumes, RDS databases, or Blob Storage Overly permissive IAM policies (e.g., s3: or iam:PassRole) Alerts are automatically ranked by their CVSS and Exploitability factors and routed to the central Vulnerability Management queue.
