KloudSec Is Live. This Is My Fight for Every Company That Isn't a Giant.
KloudSec, an agentless AWS security platform, is live. Why I built it, and why small and growing companies deserve the same protection as the largest ones.
iam-to-english: Read Any AWS IAM Policy in Plain English and Catch Privilege Escalation Before It Ships
KloudSec releases iam-to-english, a free open-source CLI that explains AWS IAM policies in plain English, flags 21 known privilege escalation paths, including combinations spread across statements, diffs policy changes and gates CI. It runs offline.
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Explained
What CSPM actually means, why point-in-time audits miss most of what matters, and how continuous, agentless scanning closes the gap.
Catching AWS Misconfigurations Before They Ship: IaC Security Scanning
Why scanning Terraform and CloudFormation before deploy beats finding the same problem in production, and how it fits alongside live account scanning.
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) for Cloud Teams
Why infrastructure scanning alone isn't enough, and how taint-aware static analysis catches vulnerabilities in the application code itself.
Finding Leaked AWS Credentials Before Attackers Do
Plaintext passwords in a Lambda environment variable, a key in a public GitHub repo. Real, common, and usually found by scanning, not by luck.
Automating Compliance Mapping: SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA on AWS
Mapping cloud configuration to compliance controls by hand is slow and goes stale immediately. Automated mapping keeps the score current and the evidence ready.
Why AWS Asset Inventory Is Harder Than It Sounds
A snapshot of your AWS account is stale the moment it's taken. Real inventory means always-current, not a report from last quarter.
CIS AWS Foundations
AWS's default account settings alone don't guarantee a secure configuration. CIS brings together security practitioners to agree on a prescriptive, vendor-neutral baseline, specific IAM, logging, networking, and monitoring settings, that represent a reasonable security floor for any AWS account.
PCI DSS
To reduce credit card fraud by giving every business that touches payment card data a common set of technical and operational security requirements, rather than leaving each card brand to set its own rules.
SOC 2
To give a service organization's customers and partners independent, CPA-audited assurance that its controls around security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy actually work, without each customer having to audit the vendor themselves.
ISO/IEC 27001
To give organizations of any size or sector a systematic, internationally recognized framework, an Information Security Management System (ISMS), for identifying, treating, and continually improving how they manage information security risk.
GDPR
To give individuals in the EU/EEA real rights over their personal data (access, correction, erasure, portability) and to force any organization processing that data to justify why, secure it properly, and report breaches quickly.
HIPAA
To protect the privacy and security of individuals' health information while still allowing it to flow where it's legitimately needed, between providers, insurers, and the systems that keep healthcare running.
NIST 800-53
Originally built to secure US federal information systems under FISMA. It has since become the reference control catalog that other frameworks, including FedRAMP, build on, because it's exhaustive, regularly maintained, and free to use.
DORA
Financial services now run almost entirely on digital infrastructure, including cloud providers who are themselves outside financial regulators' direct reach. DORA harmonizes ICT risk management, mandatory incident reporting, resilience testing, and, notably, direct oversight of critical third-party ICT providers across the EU financial sector.
FFIEC
To give US banking regulators, and the institutions they examine, a consistent, repeatable way to assess technology and cybersecurity risk across the banking system, instead of every examiner improvising their own standard.
