Introduction to the growing importance of cloud security

With the growing popularity of cloud technologies, the risk of cyberattacks on cloud infrastructures is also increasing. To counteract this trend, we have developed an innovative solution at blacklens.io, that offers our customers deeper insights and increased transparency into their existing and new cloud solutions. In this blog article, we would like to present our latest knowledge and developments. With our CloudSpot tool, we enable our customers to check the security status of their cloud providers quickly and easily – from AWS and Google Cloud to Microsoft Entra and Azure – and to address security issues efficiently .

Step-by-step: Setup and first steps with CloudSpot

Setting up a cloud provider on blacklens.io is very easy and takes only a few minutes. Simply choose between Azure, AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for the integration options. After the setup, you can decide whether you want to include your assets, such as IP addresses, load balancers and WebApps in blacklens.io, automatically and whether you want to audit existing resources such as IAM and other provider-specific assets, too.

Practical example: Effective auditing and continuous security

In a practical example, we have activated cloud auditing for a Microsoft Azure tenant. We received the first meaningful results within a few minutes. One specific example of this was the identification of a vulnerability in our conditional access policy, which could have potentially allowed an attacker to bypass the conditional access policy and to perform the authentication with just one factor. This vulnerability was checked again immediately and automatically marked as resolved after it had been fixed.

By continuously scanning for new threats and vulnerabilities in your cloud environments, blacklens.io enables you to efficiently and quickly set up security scans that do not only improve security but also support compliance checks.

Asset synchronization: Automated monitoring of your cloud resources

With the asset synchronization function of blacklens.io, you can automatically integrate your cloud-based resources into the scanning process. This continuous process ensures that newly created assets, such as virtual machines, load balancers and WebApps are automatically recorded in blacklens.io and proactively scanned and monitored.
