Cloudsploit
Cloudsploit is a cloud security posture management tool and multi-cloud security auditor. It audits cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations and compliance risks across multiple providers, specifically AWS and Azure, by evaluating resource configurations against a set of security plugins.
The project functions as a cloud compliance scanner that maps infrastructure scan results to regulatory frameworks and security policy standards. It also serves as an automated cloud remediation tool, executing corrective actions to fix detected misconfigurations via SDK calls.
The system covers resource risk analysis and security scanning, allowing for the development of custom security plugins to define specialized test logic. It includes capabilities for cross-account role scanning, finding suppression using regular expressions, and the export of audit results into formats such as JSON, CSV, and JUnit.
The scanner utilizes API response caching to reduce redundant network requests across plugins and provides visualization for security findings through printable reports and a visual interface.

Star history
How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.
