that actually matters.
Your CloudTrail emits thousands of events an hour. Most of them are noise — SSO provisioning, automation, service-linked actions. Cloudanix CDR filters them out, builds behavioral baselines per user, and surfaces the handful of events that look wrong for that user, that region, that hour.

Why event-based detection breaks
Cloud event streams are noisy.
Cloud event streams are noisy.
UEBA without a baseline is just more alerts.
Most teams either drown in CloudTrail or shut down detection entirely. There's a third option — and it's what CDR is actually for.
The noise problem
SSO JIT provisioning. Service-linked automation. AWS-internal recon. Most CloudTrail events are operational chatter, not security signal. A rule engine without a noise filter is a false-positive factory.
The baseline problem
"User accessed an S3 bucket" only matters if it's unusual for that user. Without a behavioral baseline per identity, you can't tell normal from anomalous — every event looks the same.
The stale-baseline problem
Naive UEBA tools train their baselines on all events — including the anomalous ones. The baseline drifts. The detector goes blind. The first real attacker walks right through.
How CDR works at Cloudanix
Three layers between event and alert.
Every event your cloud emits passes through three filters before it can wake your on-call.
01
Prefilter — drop the operational noise
Known-noise events (SSO provisioning, automation, service-linked calls) are matched against a curated rule set at ingest. They're persisted for audit but never reach the detection pipeline. The vast majority of CloudTrail volume gets dropped here.
02
Real-time event rules — the known-bad list
A broad library of hand-authored rules fires on specific CloudTrail / GCP Audit Log / Azure Activity Log events: bucket made public, CloudTrail disabled, root key created, KMS key scheduled for deletion. Match → alert in under a minute.
03
UEBA — the "this is wrong for you" layer
A growing library of behavioral detectors builds per-user baselines and flags deviations. Impossible Travel, Dormant ID Reactivation, Privilege-Escalation Sequence, unusual region / hour / volume — and more. Baselines stay clean even after an anomaly fires.
A few of the patterns we watch for
Per-identity baselines. Many detectors. Growing every release.
These are some of the behavioral patterns Cloudanix already detects out-of-box — each one watches a single dimension of "normal" and tells you when this user, on this day, is acting unlike themselves. The library keeps growing.
Dormant ID Reactivation
Long-quiet service account fires again. Often the first signal of credential leak or insider threat.
Privilege Escalation Sequence
CreateUser → AttachPolicy → CreateAccessKey within minutes. Chain-aware, not single-event.
Unusual Region Access
Engineer who only ever hits us-east-1 suddenly touches ap-south-1. Per-user, not per-account.
Unusual Access Hour
Critical action at 3 AM from a 9-to-5 user. Uses circular hour distance — handles midnight correctly.
High-Volume Resource Access
1,000 GetObject calls from a user who normally does 5/day. Classic exfil / recon pattern.
First-Time Resource Access
User touches a resource type they've never used before. Most common precursor to lateral movement.
Moving-Average Deviation
Statistical deviation from the 14-day moving average across event volume per service.
Sensitive Operation
KMS key deletion. CloudTrail disabled. Root access key created. The "stop everything" list.
…and many more
The detector library expands every release — driven by what real customer environments throw at us, and by what attackers do next. New baselines, new chain patterns, new sensitive-operation lists. Ask us what's shipping this quarter.
Threat-intel correlation
That suspicious IP?
That suspicious IP?
Maybe it's known-bad already.
CDR is wired to a continuously-updated threat-intel index — CISA's Known-Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue, ThreatFox IOCs, and dozens more feeds — plus an LLM pipeline that extracts fresh indicators from threat research. When an event involves a source IP, domain, or hash that already appears on a feed, we say so.
- Over a million active IOCs indexed and queryable
- Dozens of feeds including CISA KEV, ThreatFox, AbuseIPDB
- Fresh indicators extracted from threat research as it's published
- Asset-correlated — IOC hits are linked to the exact resource in your inventory

Why our UEBA doesn't poison itself.
What separates working CDR from a noisy alert engine — without the implementation deep-dive.
Baselines that survive the anomaly that proves them
When something out-of-pattern fires, naive systems either ignore it (and stay blind) or absorb it (and go stale). Ours do neither — the user's behavioral fingerprint stays clean even after an anomaly fires.
Hour-of-day done right
Most UEBA tools that flag "unusual access hour" get the midnight boundary wrong — they think 23:00 and 01:00 are 22 hours apart. Ours don't. Subtle, but it's the difference between catching a 3 AM attacker and yelling at your night-shift engineers.
Chain-aware, not single-event
Privilege escalation rarely shows up as one bad action — it shows up as a sequence. Our detectors evaluate the chain, not the link. So the alerts that fire are the ones that actually mean something.
Noise reduction that keeps up
Most "noise reduction" in SIEMs is hand-tuned, then frozen. Ours adapts as your cloud changes — with humans always in the loop on what gets added. Yesterday's noise floor is not tomorrow's noise floor.
Same model across clouds
AWS, Azure, GCP — same baselines, same anomaly engine, same alert structure. One mental model for your SOC, regardless of which cloud the event came from.
One rule engine for everything
The same engine that powers misconfig detection powers real-time events and UEBA. Analysts learn "rules" once — not "policies here" and "detections there."
One platform · One graph
CDR is one layer. The graph is what makes it actionable.
An anomaly without context is just another alert. CDR runs on the same graph that powers your inventory, attack paths and identity model — so every detection arrives with the asset's full posture already attached.

What Our Users Are Saying
Customer Reviews
Cloudanix is trusted by security leaders worldwide to deliver proactive, reliable, and cutting-edge cloud security.
One day, I changed the password of a root account, and my CTO called me within less than a minute to confirm if I did so. I was not expecting a reaction this quick. He told me Cloudanix alerted him of this password change and that he wanted to confirm as it was a critical security notification. I couldn't believe it!

Head of Technical Engineering, Finfinity
The snooze feature and responsible alerts have helped us save time and prioritize what to tackle first.
Satish Mohan
Co-founder & CTO, Airgap Networks
Implementing Cloudanix JIT internally allowed us to practice what we preach. By eliminating permanent access to our own clouds and databases, we've neutralized the risk of standing privileges, ensuring our own 'keys to the kingdom' are never left exposed.
Girish Manghnani
Managing Partner, Tech Inspira
The problem with permissions is a lot of times, the gaps are left open due to oversights from inside the organization itself. With Cloudanix's CIEM, we get a complete view of user permissions and access. This enables us to update the permissions, reducing the attack surface.
Nilesh Pethani
Application Architect, iMocha
In the world of Fintech, trust is our currency. Cloudanix provided the frictionless visibility we needed to secure our EKS workloads across AWS, ensuring we stay audit-ready for SOC2 and GDPR without slowing down our engineering velocity.
