FAQ: cloud vulnerability management
What is cloud vulnerability management?
Cloud vulnerability management is the continuous process of finding, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities across cloud workloads, containers, Kubernetes, serverless functions, identities, data services, and application dependencies.
How does Cyscale prioritize cloud vulnerabilities?
Cyscale prioritizes vulnerabilities using contextual signals such as exploitability, internet exposure, identity reachability, workload runtime state, data sensitivity, compliance impact, and whether the vulnerable asset is part of a meaningful attack path.
Does Cyscale support vulnerability management across multi-cloud and Kubernetes?
Yes. Cyscale supports multi-cloud environments and Kubernetes workloads, helping teams monitor cloud provider findings, image findings, SBOM and package context, and runtime workload exposure 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, identity reachability, and misconfiguration impact, which improves remediation decisions.
How does Cyscale use provider-native vulnerability findings?
Cyscale can use signals from services such as AWS Inspector, ECR scanning, Google Artifact Analysis, cloud workload metadata, and Kubernetes package or SBOM data. It then enriches those findings with cloud graph context rather than presenting scanner output as a flat list.
Does Cyscale support AI and machine learning package risk?
Yes. AI workloads can introduce risk through vulnerable frameworks, model servers, SDKs, notebooks, vector databases, and inference containers. Cyscale connects these software findings to AI assets, Kubernetes workloads, cloud identities, and exposed endpoints where available.
What is code-to-cloud vulnerability context?
Code-to-cloud context connects repositories, dependencies, container images, workloads, cloud assets, and owners. It helps teams determine whether a vulnerable package or image is actually deployed and who should fix it.
Pair this use case with CSPM and a unified CNAPP platform for end-to-end cloud risk reduction.
