Network Security

Cloud Network Security

Your startup’s network is probably a mess. Let’s fix that.

Here’s the reality about startup cloud networks: they grow faster than anyone plans for. You start with a simple setup, then suddenly you’re three AWS accounts deep with security groups that nobody remembers creating and firewall rules that are difficult to trace.

Most founders we talk to know their network security has unresolved gaps, but fixing it feels like managing infrastructure without visibility. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that hard.

Key Features

Actually see what you built

Our network visualization gives you a live map of exactly how everything in your cloud infrastructure connects. Instead of guessing which services can talk to which databases, you get a clear, interactive view of your entire network topology.

No more SSH-ing into boxes to check iptables rules. No more Slack threads asking “hey, can anyone remember why port 8080 is open on that EC2 instance?” Just point, click, and see what’s actually happening.

Find risks automatically

Our scanner reviews your infrastructure looking for common issues: RDS instances exposed to the internet, security groups with 0.0.0.0/0 rules that definitely shouldn’t be there, Lambda functions with admin permissions left over from late-night troubleshooting sessions.

It’s like having a security expert review your infrastructure, except they work continuously and systematically flag configuration drift across your environment.

Fix problems without the pain

Every issue we find comes with a direct remediation path. Not a 47-step guide — an actual fix that resolves the problem.

Overprivileged IAM role? Fixed. Database accessible from anywhere? Fixed. Security group allowing SSH from the entire internet? Fixed. One-click remediation that brings infrastructure-as-code principles to security fixes.

Stay ahead of the next fire drill

New vulnerabilities surface constantly. Your environment changes every time someone deploys. Our monitoring catches these changes in real-time, so you’re not dealing with security issues reactively every week.

Benefits

  • Stop playing network detective: See exactly what’s connected to what, in plain English
  • Security without the overhead: Fix issues without becoming a cloud security expert first
  • Ship features, not security tickets: Automated fixes mean your team stays focused on building product
  • Better rest: Continuous monitoring catches problems before they escalate
  • Investor-ready: Clean security posture for due diligence without scrambling

How It Works

We connect to your cloud accounts and build a real-time map of everything. Think of it as a comprehensive view of your infrastructure — you can zoom in to see individual resources or zoom out for the big picture.

The scanner runs continuously, checking configurations against security best practices. When it finds something unresolved, it flags it with context about why it matters and what could go wrong.

For most issues, there’s a one-click fix that safely updates your configuration. For more complex cases, we provide clear instructions and can often automate the fix anyway.

The whole thing runs in the background. Set it up once, then get back to building your actual product.

Why this matters for startups

Security breaches are startup killers. Not just because of the immediate damage, but because they destroy trust right when you need it most. Your Series A investors will ask about security. Your first enterprise customers definitely will.

But hiring a security team before you hit product-market fit is like deploying expensive tooling you can’t yet operate effectively. You need something that works now, scales with you, and doesn’t require becoming a cloud security expert.

Most security tools assume you have a team of specialists. We assume you have a team of builders who want to focus on building.

That’s the difference.
