Secure All Cloud Environments with Policy as Code

Cloud Security is a broad topic that each business must define for themselves based on the environments and solutions they depend on to run their digital businesses.

While much of the focus of Cloud Security is and should be on the three major public clouds, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, the hard truth is that a more accurate definition of cloud security for most businesses is a hybrid cloud which may include environments such as VMWare and OpenShift, but also on-premise Kubernetes solutions such as EKS Anywhere, Azure Stack HCI, Anthos, and self-managed Kubernetes clusters.

Public cloud platforms brought the “shared responsibility model” front and center for modern security teams, but that model isn’t just for the cloud providers.

SaaS solutions such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, or GitHub and GitLab are critical to modern businesses and also come with their own shared responsibility model. Continuous compliance and configuration assessments are critical for all of the SaaS solutions businesses depend on.

As more businesses adopt automation and DevOps workflows to manage cloud environments, pressure builds on security organizations to provide solutions that enable developers to go faster, increasing innovation rather than blocking it.

When choosing a modern cloud security solution, it is not enough to provide visibility into what is running. It must integrate seamlessly into the development lifecycle.

Mondoo is a Policy as Code security solution that is designed to help organizations secure any environment from public cloud, on-premise, as well as SaaS solutions.

Mondoo’s growing library of certified, production-ready policies allows you to scan your cloud environments in minutes and provides fast, accurate, and actionable insights into any security misconfigurations and risks you may have. Mondoo policies cover not just cloud environments like AWS, GCP, Azure, and VMWare, but also Infrastructure as Code such as Hashicorp Terraform which you can run during development to find and fix security vulnerabilities before they are released.

Mondoo policies are designed to integrate security into each stage of the software development life cycle–from development, to build, to run–and provide guardrails (not gates) for development teams across all your deployments.

Mondoo policies are built on top of the lightning-fast, and flexible Mondoo Query Language (MQL), which is designed for automators. Should the need arise to develop custom policies for your environments, MQL is easy to learn and adapt to any business requirements.
