What is cloud vulnerability management?
Cloud vulnerability management is the continuous process of finding, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities across cloud workloads, containers, Kubernetes, identities, and data services.

Vulnerability Management: Secure VMs, containers & data across your cloud
Continuously scan your multi-cloud environment, identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance.
Experience real-time monitoring, intuitive insights, and streamlined security management - all through one unified CNAPP platform.
Protect Your Cloud Infrastructure
- Comprehensive Scanning: Scan your entire multi-cloud estate for insecure configurations, exposed vulnerabilities, and potential attack vectors.
- Enhanced Kubernetes Vulnerability Scanning: Identify vulnerabilities in Kubernetes pods in near real-time and understand their impact in the context of your cluster.
- Built on State-of-the-Art Open-Source Projects: Having Syft and Grype at its core, two well-maintained OSS projects, Cyscale is up to date with the vulnerabilities and scanning capabilities, while keeping a simple deployment model.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Monitor key indicators and potential threats to act quickly and prevent breaches.
- Prioritize Vulnerabilities: Easily identify and prioritize vulnerabilities based on severity, ensuring timely remediation.
- Complete Insights: Get a complete overview of your cloud assets and understand complex attack paths with intuitive visualization.
- Broad Coverage: Cover vulnerabilities across VMs, serverless functions, containers, and Kubernetes clusters for comprehensive protection.

Dive into real-time monitoring and protection for all your data across any cloud service.
Simplify Vulnerability Management
A single pane of glass view into all cloud-based assets helps you understand:
- Real-time vulnerability detection and alerts
- Detailed vulnerability assessment and impact analysis
- Remediation guidance and automation
- Risk prioritization based on potential impact
- Policy violations and compliance gaps
- User-related alerts and activity monitoring
- Customizable Deployment: Integrate with private repositories and generate SBOMs for comprehensive vulnerability assessment.
- Where to enforce best practices and mitigate risks
Reduce vulnerability noise with context your teams can trust
Vulnerability programs get stuck when every issue looks equally urgent. Cyscale helps teams prioritize based on exposure, reachability, workload importance, and ownership so engineering can work on a smaller, more meaningful queue.
- Distinguish theoretical findings from exploitable cloud risk
- Show why a workload should be fixed now versus later
- Keep remediation discussions focused and easier to resolve
- Improve backlog reduction without overwhelming engineering teams
100% Confidence with
your Cloud Compliance
Meet Industry Regulations
Protect sensitive data and comply with strict industry regulations. Cyscale automatically runs all critical compliance checks across multiple public cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, as well as Kubernetes, identifying vulnerabilities that put your data at risk.
Built-in Compliance Templates
You can either use policy templates as a basis for your custom policies or create them from scratch. Control access through IAM policies, IAM roles and other IAM solutions to ensure a comprehensive identity management program and reduce the attack surface.
PCI-DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, and more
Cyscale offers a wide range of benchmarks and frameworks, including CIS, ISO27001, PCI-DSS, NIST, SOC2, GDPR, and helps you prepare for auditing.
500+ out-of-the-box security controls
Onboard teams in 30 minutes and coordinate efforts to apply 500+ out-of-the-box cybersecurity controls and a large set of policies and standards to prevent data breaches. From access control to MFA (multi-factor authentication) and the principle of least privilege, we help make regular access reviews for your cloud infrastructure quick and painless.
FAQ: cloud vulnerability management
How does Cyscale prioritize cloud vulnerabilities?
Cyscale prioritizes vulnerabilities using contextual signals such as exploitability, identity exposure, internet exposure, and compliance impact so teams focus on the most dangerous issues first.
Does Cyscale support vulnerability management across multi-cloud and Kubernetes?
Yes. Cyscale supports multi-cloud environments and Kubernetes workloads, helping teams monitor and remediate vulnerabilities from a single CNAPP workflow.
Can vulnerability management and CSPM be used together?
Yes. Combining vulnerability management with CSPM gives teams a full picture of cloud posture risk, CVE exposure, and misconfiguration impact, which improves remediation decisions.
Pair this use case with CSPM and a unified CNAPP platform for end-to-end cloud risk reduction.

How teams reduce vulnerability backlog without overwhelming engineering
The key to cloud vulnerability management is context. Security teams need to identify which vulnerabilities are actually reachable, exposed, and likely to impact high-value workloads, then route those fixes into normal delivery workflows.
- -Run SBOM-based scanning across repositories, containers, Kubernetes, VMs, and cloud functions.
- -Prioritize findings using exposure, exploitability, and identity path context.
- -Connect vulnerability decisions to posture and compliance impact, not CVE score alone.
- -Measure remediation throughput and closure quality, not just detection volume.
