Cloudanix
What Cloudanix is
Cloudanix is a cloud-native application protection platform that combines code security, cloud posture, workload protection, cloud identity, and just-in-time access in a shared security graph. Its cloud coverage includes AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Code security capabilities include SAST, software composition analysis, secrets scanning, infrastructure-as-code scanning, and CI security. The platform also offers cloud entitlement management and time-bound access for cloud environments, databases, virtual machines, Kubernetes, and AI agents. Its database activity monitoring add-on provides query auditing, masking, and data access analysis for databases in cloud or on-premises environments. Cloud accounts can connect through read-only APIs without agents, and Cloudanix advertises onboarding in 30 minutes. The company says its SaaS control plane stores configuration metadata, such as resource IDs, finding summaries, and audit logs, rather than customer data or secrets. It states that application-level encryption uses AES-256 GCM and that it is ISO 27001 certified. Customers can use regional SaaS tenants in the US, EU, India, and Middle East, or deploy CloudPrem inside their own VPC. Plans include per-asset, workload, developer, database-user, or user billing, with minimum quantities on several Pro options. Custom-priced Enterprise plans are also available.
