"Multi-cloud" should mean
three clouds, equal depth.
Most "multi-cloud" tools are deep on one cloud and have an adapter for the others. Cloudanix is built cloud-neutral from the ground up — same product, same console, same query language, same policies, same graph across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI and DigitalOcean. Onboard a new cloud and the operating model doesn't change — only the inventory grows.
Most "multi-cloud" tools are single-cloud-plus-adapter.
Three patterns that ship as "multi-cloud" but aren't really.
Deep on one cloud, adapter on the others
Common for hyperscaler-native tools (Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub). The "primary" cloud gets feature-complete coverage; "secondary" clouds get a connector with partial resource type support and lagged time-to-feature.
Multi-cloud aggregator, not multi-cloud product
The tool can read findings from each cloud's native security service and aggregate them — but it doesn't go deeper than what each cloud already exposes. You're stacking dashboards, not adding capability.
Different teams, different products
Some vendors acquired their multi-cloud coverage. AWS code came from one acquisition, Azure from another, GCP from a third. The UX, the policy language, the support paths — all separate. Sometimes literally different login systems.
What we mean by multi-cloud.
Six dimensions where parity matters in practice.
One product, three SDKs underneath
We integrate against each cloud's API natively (boto3 for AWS, Azure SDK, google-cloud-* for GCP). The product surface above is one product — same console, same UI, same workflows.
Equal coverage cadence
When a new AWS service ships and we add it to the inventory graph, the team adding Azure and GCP equivalents works in the same sprint. Coverage isn't AWS-first; it's launch-cohort-equal.
One policy language across clouds
A posture rule expressed in our policy DSL works across AWS, Azure, GCP — with the cloud-specific predicates abstracted under common types (storage_object, compute_instance, identity_principal, etc.). Author once.
Cross-cloud attack paths
A Lambda in AWS that assumes a role to access a Cosmos DB in Azure — Cloudanix traces the path across cloud boundaries. Most "multi-cloud" tools stop at one cloud's edge.
One query language, three clouds
"Show me all storage objects where public_read=true and environment=prod" returns S3 buckets, Azure blobs and GCS buckets in one result set. Visual via DQB, natural via Text2SQL.
JIT, DAM, agentic — all multi-cloud
Not just CSPM — every capability we ship is multi-cloud. JIT brokers credentials for IAM and Entra and GCP IAM. DAM monitors RDS and Azure SQL and Cloud SQL. Agentic JIT brokers MCP for all three.
What ships for each cloud.
Not every cloud has the same primitives; here's what's available and where.
| Capability | AWS | Azure | GCP | OCI | DigitalOcean |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSPM — posture rules | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| CIEM — identity graph | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Limited |
| JIT brokering for humans | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Partial |
| CWPP — container runtime | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Roadmap | ✓ |
| CDR — detection & response | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Partial |
| Code Security · SAST · SCA · IaC | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| DSPM — data discovery | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Limited | Limited |
| Database JIT & DAM | ✓ (RDS · Aurora · Redshift) | ✓ (SQL · Cosmos) | ✓ (Cloud SQL · BigQuery) | Roadmap | Roadmap |
| Cross-cloud attack paths | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Agentic JIT (MCP for AI agents) | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
"Limited" / "Partial" reflect the cloud's primitive depth, not our integration completeness. We ship everything the cloud's API surfaces.
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!
Compliance is one way of staying secure, but what I want is the ability to go deeper and attain 'true security.' Cloudanix provides us the capability to do so.
Cloudanix is building for the future of the cloud, which makes the product all the more desirable.
Cloudanix gave us the visibility we were missing. Being able to move from permanent access to a robust Just-In-Time (JIT) workflow has fundamentally changed our security posture without slowing down our engineering velocity.
We are excited to leverage Cloudanix's comprehensive multi-cloud DevSecOps solution to secure our production workloads on AWS. Cloudanix has demonstrated that it can solve many challenges that DevSecOps teams face while continually adding new features such as SOC2 compliance and drift detection.
Managing third-party partner access was once a major concern for our security posture. With Cloudanix JIT Cloud, we've effectively achieved zero third-party risk. We can now grant access confidently, knowing that it is temporary, audited, and automatically revoked, resulting in a 100% reduction in our privileged access exposure.
The snooze feature and responsible alerts have helped us save time and prioritize what to tackle first.
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.
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.
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.
Cloudanix delivered value within 5 minutes of onboarding. Continuous monitoring, timely detection, and excellent documentation helped us attain a great cloud security posture.
Technology strategies and business strategies are in a state of constant change which includes centralization and decentralization of responsibilities. Regardless of strategic shift, we still have intellectual property to protect. Cloudanix are critical partners for us in our public cloud security posture across our three cloud providers.
Cloudanix has been amazing. They opened up a common Slack channel with us — and it feels like we are talking to our own team and getting things done with Cloud security. The support team is always available, friendly, helpful, and ready to go out of their way.
Beyond just access management, Cloudanix CSPM has given us a unified view of our AWS environment. The real-time alerting and anomaly detection allow us to prevent any untoward activity before it happens, which is critical for a marketplace connecting 50+ financial institutions.
For a Fintech company, data is our most valuable — and most sensitive — asset. Cloudanix DAM hasn't just improved our visibility; it has given us control. The ability to mask data and prevent unauthorized queries in real-time is a game-changer for our compliance and customer trust.
Our clients, especially in the Middle East financial sector, demand absolute accountability. Cloudanix JIT Cloud has been a competitive differentiator for us, allowing us to provide secure, governed access to customer accounts that meet their strictest audit and compliance requirements.
Cloudanix is always on my team's lips because of its exceptional support. Be it a small or big query, Cloudanix has gone above and beyond to resolve them. This one's a keeper for us.
For a long-lasting partnership, great support goes a long way. Cloudanix has delivered exceptional support whenever required. Their edge is their team is always ready to go beyond to solve any issues that we have. This speaks volumes about the culture at Cloudanix.
Beyond the technology, Cloudanix feels like an extension of our own team. Their willingness to stand up a dedicated Middle East tenant for us and provide exceptional support at a sensible price makes them a long-term partner for Hugosave.
The real-time notifications that Cloudanix provides are a real lifesaver. Their adaptive notifications ensure that my team stays productive and doesn't get interrupted all the time.
The whole point in technological evolution is to help improve the world we live in. We must protect that and to do so requires an effective and efficient security strategy. The Cloudanix team helped make our public cloud security posture management strategy a reality. The symbiotic relationship we have allows for a continuous feedback loop which is how business should operate.
Multi-cloud security, asked plainly.
How is Cloudanix different from AWS Security Hub + Azure Defender + GCP Security Command Center stitched together?
Three differences. (1) One product, not three. One console, one policy language, one query language, one alert workflow — across all three clouds. The stitched version is three different products you operate separately, plus the SIEM glue between them. (2) Cross-cloud relationships. Native tools can't trace a path that starts in AWS and ends in GCP. Cloudanix can, because both endpoints are in the same graph. (3) Capabilities native tools don't ship. Real CIEM, JIT brokering, MCP-native Agentic broker, Database JIT and DAM — not standard in any of the hyperscaler-native bundles.
How do you keep coverage parity across clouds when AWS ships new services constantly?
Two practices. (1) Coverage gets prioritized by use, not by which cloud announced it. When AWS ships a new service, we add inventory and posture support if our customers use it. The team adding Azure and GCP equivalents works the same way — by customer pull, not by alphabetical order. (2) For posture rules, we abstract to common types (storage_object, compute_instance, identity_principal) and write rules against those — so a new service that's a variant of an existing primitive often inherits rule coverage on day one.
Do you support OCI / DigitalOcean / Alibaba / IBM Cloud?
OCI and DigitalOcean: yes, generally available with the coverage shown in the table. Alibaba Cloud and IBM Cloud: available on request — not in the default product surface, but enterprise plans can include them via the same integration framework if requested at deal time. Self-managed Kubernetes (anywhere) is first-class regardless of which cloud the nodes run on.
What about hybrid / on-prem?
Cloudanix covers the cloud side of hybrid (the AWS / Azure / GCP / OCI accounts), plus Kubernetes wherever it runs (including on-prem K8s clusters). For on-prem servers and traditional VMware estates without cloud-API surface, you'd want a different tool — that's the EDR / NDR space, not where we focus.
How does cross-cloud attack-path traversal work in practice?
The asset graph spans all connected clouds. When traversal computes reachability, it doesn't stop at cloud boundaries — an IAM role in AWS that assumes a federated role into GCP, an Azure Function with a service principal that has access to a GCP project, a Kubernetes ServiceAccount with workload-identity binding to an AWS IAM role — these are all edges in the same graph. Attack paths read them naturally.
How does the licensing work across clouds?
You're billed by usage volume (resources, scans, events), not per cloud. Adding a second or third cloud doesn't add a "per-cloud platform fee" — your bill grows by the marginal resource count, not by a multiplier. Specific pricing tiers and what counts toward each are published on the pricing page.
