Use Case — Cloud Infrastructure
Prioritize cloud vulnerabilities by business blast radius
Vendrsec enriches AWS, GCP, and Azure findings with cloud-native context — which workloads are customer-facing, which are adjacent to sensitive data stores, which are actually reachable from the internet.
The Problem
Cloud scanning generates volume. Vendrsec generates clarity.
AWS Security Hub, Wiz, and cloud-native CSPM tools surface thousands of findings across your cloud footprint. CVSS tells you which CVEs score high in isolation. It doesn’t know which EC2 instance runs your customer-facing API, which container image is deployed to 40 production pods, or which Lambda sits in your payment processing flow. Vendrsec adds that context to every score. The result is a shorter list where the top findings are actually reachable, actually critical to your business, and actually being actively exploited.
We had 6,000 cloud findings. Vendrsec surfaced 8 that were actively exploitable on internet-facing workloads. That’s the only list that mattered.
The asset criticality tagging took us two hours to set up. The Vendrsec Risk Score immediately reflected which containers were production-critical versus dev tooling.
Cloud-Aware Prioritization
Cloud-native context in every score
Vendrsec understands cloud infrastructure topology. Asset criticality is inherited through your cloud architecture, not just manually tagged.
- CSPM finding correlation with IAM permission exposure — an EC2 instance with overprivileged roles scores differently than an isolated function
- Container image CVE ranking by deployment frequency — a vulnerability in an image deployed to 40 pods ranks higher than the same CVE in a stopped container
- Serverless function vulnerability scoring by invocation criticality — Lambda functions in payment flows score above batch jobs
- VPC network reachability graph — Vendrsec knows which resources are internet-accessible and which are behind private subnets
- Multi-cloud unified view — AWS, GCP, and Azure findings in one ranked list with consistent scoring methodology
