Cloud Security Integration

Cloud Monitors leverages your existing cloud security tools to provide comprehensive monitoring:

Supported Security Tools

AWS
AWS Security Hub: Centralized security findings from AWS services and third-party tools
Azure
Azure Defender: Microsoft’s cloud security posture management and threat protection
Cloud Monitors requires that AWS Security Hub (for AWS accounts) or Azure Defender (for Azure accounts) be enabled and configured in your cloud environment. These services must be active to pull security findings.

Getting Started

Step 1: Connect Your Cloud Account

Before running security scans, you need to connect your AWS or Azure account to Cloudgeni and ensure the appropriate security services are enabled. Connect Cloud Account
  1. Navigate to SettingsIntegrationsCloud in your Cloudgeni dashboard
  2. Select the cloud provider you want to connect to and follow the quick setup procedure
  3. Important: Ensure AWS Security Hub (for AWS) or Azure Defender (for Azure) is enabled in your cloud environment
Cloud Monitors pulls security findings from your existing cloud security tools. Cloudgeni requires read-only access to your cloud resources and will never alter anything in your cloud environment!

Step 2: Run Your First Security Scan

Cloud Monitors Scan
  1. Navigate to ComplianceCloud Monitors and select your cloud account
  2. With your cloud account selected, click “Scan” to start the security analysis
  3. The system will pull the latest security findings from AWS Security Hub or Azure Defender (this usually takes a few seconds)

Understanding the Security Dashboard

Once your scan completes, you’ll see a comprehensive security dashboard with your cloud security findings: Cloud Monitors Scan Result The main dashboard displays all security findings in an organized, searchable table with color-coded severity counters and detailed information for each finding including the issue description, check result status, and affected resource details. Click any finding row to view detailed information and AI-powered remediation suggestions, use the severity counters to understand your overall security posture, and access the actions menu (⋯) to manage individual findings.

Search and Filtering
