Cloud Misconfigurations Create Critical Security Gaps

Organizations struggle to maintain secure cloud configurations across dynamic, multi-cloud environments. Manual processes can’t keep pace with rapid infrastructure changes, leaving critical security gaps that expose sensitive data and create compliance violations.

Configuration Drift

Cloud infrastructure changes rapidly through DevOps automation, creating configuration drift that exposes resources through overly permissive security groups, unencrypted storage, and excessive IAM privileges.

Multi-Cloud Complexity

Different security models across AWS, Azure, and GCP create inconsistent security postures, with security teams unable to maintain unified policy enforcement across cloud platforms.

Alert Overload

CSPM tools generate thousands of misconfiguration alerts without context or prioritization, overwhelming security teams and delaying remediation of critical exposures.

Vulnerability Management

Cloud-deployed components often contain vulnerabilities that only surface after production deployment, creating a critical window of exposure. Traditional scanning processes fail to catch misconfigurations and exploitable weaknesses in live infrastructure, leaving security teams to discover threats reactively rather than preventing them.

How Torq Automates the Detection and Remediation of Cloud Misconfigurations

Torq HyperSOC orchestrates multiple cloud security tools to provide comprehensive misconfiguration detection, intelligent prioritization, and automated remediation across your entire cloud infrastructure.

Continuous Configuration Monitoring

Integrates with leading CSPM tools and cloud-native security services to continuously scan cloud infrastructure, automatically detect misconfigurations against industry frameworks, and maintain real-time security posture visibility.

Key capabilities:

  • Automated triage and remediation of misconfigurations
  • CIS/NIST framework alignment
  • Compliance policy automation
  • Multi-cloud platform support
  • Resource relationship mapping
  • Configuration drift detection

Intelligent Risk Prioritization

Automate risk prioritization by defining custom logic that evaluates asset criticality, data sensitivity, network exposure, and attack vectors according to your organization’s specific business risks, rather than relying on generic severity scores.

Key capabilities:

  • Business impact scoring
  • Exposure pathway analysis
  • Threat context correlation
  • Asset criticality mapping
  • Data classification integration
  • Dynamic priority adjustment

Automated Configuration Remediation

Policy-driven automation engine that executes pre-approved remediation actions through native cloud APIs, Infrastructure as Code updates, and security tool orchestration to automatically resolve misconfigurations without manual intervention.

Key capabilities:

  • Policy-based automation
  • IaC template updates
  • Rollback capabilities
  • Native cloud API integration
  • Change approval workflows
  • Audit trail maintenance

Cloud-Native Security Architecture

Built on a cloud-first architecture that integrates seamlessly with your existing cloud security stack, providing scalable misconfiguration detection and remediation across multi-cloud environments.

Automated Access Provisioning

Unified processing of employee requests from Slack, web portals, email, and mobile apps through standardized APIs and natural language understanding.

Policy Engine Integration

Integrates with CNAPP tools, such as Prisma Cloud, Orca Security, and Wiz, to leverage existing policy frameworks and compliance rules for comprehensive coverage.

Risk-Based Analytics

Contextual analysis of resource relationships, data flows, and attack surfaces that automatically prioritizes risks based on potential business impact and exposure severity.

Workflow Orchestration

Orchestrates remediation workflows across multiple tools including Terraform, CloudFormation, and cloud-native security services for consistent policy enforcement.

Compliance Automation

Automatically maps misconfigurations to compliance frameworks (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA) and generates audit reports for regulatory requirements.

Change Management Integration

Integrates with ITSM platforms and DevOps tools to ensure all remediation actions follow organizational change management processes.
