Secure your AWS environment with Astra Cloud Vulnerability Scanner

Connect Astra in minutes and get continuous visibility into misconfigurations, IAM risks, and compliance gaps across AWS, all from one dashboard.

Why this  integration matters ?

Your AWS workloads scale dynamically; new S3 buckets, IAM roles, Lambda functions, VPCs and EC2 instances spin up daily. Without deep, continuous scanning, hidden risks accumulate across services and regions. With Astra’s AWS integration, you gain cloud-native coverage that keeps pace with your environment.

Benefits:

Agentless, read-only AWS account connection — get started in minutes.

Dedicated AWS rule-set, detect storage, IAM, compute, serverless, and network misconfigurations.

Unified dashboard, view AWS alongside Azure & GCP for complete multi-cloud clarity.

Key features of integrating AWS with Astra Cloud Scanner

Built-for-AWS scanning: hundreds of AWS resource types (S3, EC2, IAM roles, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS) are automatically discovered and assessed.

Hundreds of cloud-specific rules: detect exposures like overly permissive IAM policies, unsecured S3 buckets, misconfigured serverless permissions, public RDS endpoints.

Continuous discovery & monitoring: as new AWS resources are spun up (or changed), Astra automatically rescans, keeping your risk view up-to-date.

Guided remediation: for each issue, you get context-rich fix steps and can track your security grade rising once corrected.

Transparent pricing: connect AWS accounts with no agent burden and predictable pricing designed for modern teams.

How it works ?

Grant read-only access to your AWS account(s) (via IAM role or cross-account access).

Connect your AWS account in Astra: select regions you wish to scan.

Astra discovers resources: including S3 buckets, IAM roles & policies, compute instances, serverless functions, and databases.

Scanning begins automatically: misconfigurations and vulnerabilities are identified and prioritised.

Use the dashboard to fix and validate: apply remediation, and watch Astra upgrade your cloud security grade live.

Stay audit-ready: export findings, map to compliance frameworks (CIS AWS, ISO, SOC2), and show robust proof of security.

Security & compliance highlights

Agentless setup ensures zero performance impact on your production AWS environment.

All data access is read-only; your cloud data remains inside AWS with no write permissions.

Findings are mapped to compliance frameworks like CIS AWS, ISO 27001, and SOC2 — making audits simpler and faster.

Built on Astra’s Offensive Security Engine — the same foundation that powers our PTaaS and API Security suite.

Pricing & cost considerations

Connect your AWS accounts with no hidden fees or surprise costs.

Your pricing remains predictable, even as your cloud scales.

Do I need to install agents in my AWS account?

No. Astra uses read-only AWS APIs and requires no agents or impact on performance.

Can I connect multiple AWS accounts or regions?

Yes, you may add multiple accounts, regions or organisational units from a single interface.

How often does Astra re-scan AWS resources?

Scanning is continuous; every time a new resource is created or modified, Astra evaluates it.

What kind of export or report is available?

You can export findings, remediation steps, and proof of fix for audit or compliance review.
