Continually monitor public cloud infrastructure to provide visibility of resources and threats across your organization and proactively reduce business risk from unsanctioned activity, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations, while helping to optimize cloud spend.
Overview
Sophos Cloud Optix identifies infrastructure in your AWS, Azure, and GCP environments subject to known vulnerabilities impacting security and compliance best practice standards. Helping teams achieve a complete picture of cloud assets across multi-cloud environments, monitoring costs, detecting insecure configurations and deployments, access anomalies, over-privileged IAM roles, and compliance failures from development to the ongoing security of live services.
Focus on and fix your most critical security vulnerabilities before they are exploited in cyberattacks, as Sophos Cloud Optix makes it quick and easy to identify and risk-profile security, compliance, and cloud spend alerts. Contextual alerts will group affected resources and provide your teams with detailed remediation steps, and auto-remediation where appropriate, including AWS console deep links.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Recently, we did the analysis of our AWS CloudFormation templates with the help of Sophos Cloud Optix for config errors validation before deployment.
It actively tracks the changes made to any AWS resource in our infrastructure & offers real-time visibility into its security posture information.
Whenever there is any security issues/compliance violations in our CloudFormation stack deployment, Sophos Cloud Optix provides efficient auto-remidiation actions for enforcing compliance standards with our customer security policies.
We can also easily identify idle/unused resources that were deployed from CloudFormation stack. By deleting those stacks, we improve our resource allocation efficiency and minimize cloud expenditures.
With the insights provided by Sophos Cloud Optix, we can comprehend the relationships between the resources deployed via CloudFormation template thereby, prevent infrastructure changes that may potentially impact our production due to misconfiguration in their resource dependencies.
