Problem
Enterprises and managed service providers often struggle to maintain continuous visibility into AWS misconfigurations, facing high volumes of false positives and time‑consuming manual remediation while also needing to satisfy standards such as CIS, PCI, and HIPAA.
Solution
PatchDuty delivers an on‑demand cloud security bot that automatically scans AWS environments, validates findings, and distinguishes genuine threats from noise. The platform generates real‑time infrastructure diagrams and compliance reports, then provides ready‑to‑apply IaC remediation templates for CloudFormation and AWS CLI (with Terraform support forthcoming). Continuous assessments can be scheduled, and concise weekly email summaries keep security teams informed of posture changes and cost impacts. All data are encrypted in transit and at rest, and results can be exported via API for integration with existing DevSecOps pipelines or SIEMs.
Target Audience
The primary customers are cloud architects, managed service providers, and internal cloud security teams that need scalable, continuous AWS posture management.
