The shift from traditional data centers to the cloud has changed how we provision systems. Gone are the days of waiting for vendors, painstakingly slow rack and stack processes, and manual OS installations. Today, new systems can be launched into production within minutes using a few clicks or API calls. While this has increased convenience and agility, it has also introduced significant challenges for security teams.
The Threat of Security Blind Spots
As organizations adopt rapid deployment practices, the incorporation of security agents can often fall through the cracks. Questions abound - was the right AMI used with the pre-installed agent? Was the system correctly integrated into the configuration management system? Despite having the best processes in place, systems may still be set up without security agents, leading to potentially risky security blind spots.
Mondoo: Prioritizing Infrastructure Security
At Mondoo, we prioritize the security of your systems. Our advanced solution allows you to automatically scan all the virtual machine instances in your Azure account without the need for deploying agents. This means you will always have the most current security information for your infrastructure, without having to manage agent installations or updates.
Effortless Security Scanning with Mondoo
