# Cloud Monitors

> Review native cloud security findings from AWS Security Hub and Azure Defender without forcing them into a repository-first scanning model.

# Cloud Monitors

Cloud Monitors is the native cloud finding surface.

Use it when you want the findings that already exist in the cloud provider ecosystem rather than a
framework-mapped posture view or a repository scan result.

## Current Provider Coverage

The current product surface is designed around:

* AWS Security Hub
* Azure Defender

Do not describe Cloud Monitors as a GCP workflow. The current implementation does not support that
path.

## How It Differs From Cloud Compliance

Use Cloud Monitors when you want:

* Provider-native findings
* A direct operational feed from AWS or Azure security tooling
* A triage surface that starts from the cloud provider’s own detections

Use [Cloud Compliance](/features/cloud-compliance) when you want:

* Framework filtering
* Requirement-oriented views
* Audit-oriented exports and control coverage reporting

## What You Need First

* A connected AWS or Azure cloud integration
* Enough access for the provider-specific findings flow to work

## What To Expect

The cloud monitor experience is best treated as:

* A live-state review surface
* A triage queue
* A starting point for follow-up remediation or agent work

It is not the best place to explain repository changes. For that, hand off to an
[AI DevOps](/features/ai-devops) session or a repository workflow.
