Step-by-step: Setup and first steps with CloudSpot
Setting up a cloud provider on blacklens.io is very easy and takes only a few minutes. Simply choose between Azure, AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for the integration options. After the setup, you can decide whether you want to include your assets, such as IP addresses, load balancers and WebApps in blacklens.io, automatically and whether you want to audit existing resources such as IAM and other provider-specific assets, too.

Practical example: Effective auditing and continuous security
In a practical example, we have activated cloud auditing for a Microsoft Azure tenant. We received the first meaningful results within a few minutes. One specific example of this was the identification of a vulnerability in our conditional access policy, which could have potentially allowed an attacker to bypass the conditional access policy and to perform the authentication with just one factor. This vulnerability was checked again immediately and automatically marked as resolved after it had been fixed.
By continuously scanning for new threats and vulnerabilities in your cloud environments, blacklens.io enables you to efficiently and quickly set up security scans that do not only improve security but also support compliance checks.
