Why Infrastructure as a Service Security Requires a Fundamentally Different Approach

When infrastructure moves to the cloud, the shared responsibility model changes who is accountable for what. Cloud providers secure the infrastructure they operate. You are responsible for everything running on top of it: the operating systems, workloads, network configurations, access controls, and data. Many organizations move workloads to IaaS platforms without fully understanding where their responsibility begins and where it ends, leaving significant security gaps that attackers are well-equipped to exploit. PlutoSec helps US businesses take full ownership of their IaaS security posture through configuration hardening, runtime protection, and continuous monitoring that addresses the unique risks of cloud-hosted infrastructure.

IaaS configuration hardening against CIS Benchmarks for AWS, Azure, and GCP compute resources

Virtual machine and workload security assessment and remediation

Network security group and firewall rule review for cloud-hosted infrastructure

Privileged access management for IaaS environments including jump server and bastion host security

Runtime protection and workload monitoring for cloud-hosted servers

Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) security review for Terraform, CloudFormation, and Bicep templates

Cloud Infrastructure Misconfigurations Are Responsible for the Majority of Cloud Breaches

Configuration Gap Closure

Close the configuration gaps that cloud platforms do not automatically address under the shared responsibility model

Lateral Movement Prevention

Protect cloud workloads from lateral movement after an initial compromise of one system

IaaS Visibility

Gain visibility into your IaaS environment's security posture across all regions and accounts

Compliance Assurance

Meet compliance requirements that explicitly address cloud infrastructure, including FedRAMP, SOC 2, and PCI DSS

Runtime Threat Detection

Detect and respond to runtime threats targeting your cloud workloads in real time

Shift-Left Security

Prevent misconfigurations from reaching production by embedding security into your infrastructure provisioning process

How PlutoSec Secures Your IaaS Environment

IaaS security requires visibility into every provisioned resource and the knowledge to evaluate each one against the current threat landscape. Our team combines cloud platform expertise with penetration testing experience to identify and address risks that automated tools alone cannot catch.

IaaS inventory and asset mapping: we discover every compute instance, storage resource, network component, and managed service running in your cloud accounts

Configuration assessment: each resource is evaluated against CIS Benchmarks and industry best practices for your specific cloud platform

Network segmentation review: we analyze security groups, ACLs, and firewall rules to identify excessive connectivity and lateral movement paths

Identity and privilege review: service accounts, IAM roles, and administrative access are evaluated for the principle of least privilege

Runtime protection deployment: workload monitoring and threat detection tools are configured to provide visibility into active threats targeting your infrastructure

Infrastructure-as-code review: if you provision infrastructure through code, we assess your templates to catch security issues before they deploy

IaaS Security That Goes Beyond What Cloud Platforms Provide by Default

PlutoSec Understands the Shared Responsibility Model From Both Sides

Cloud providers do an excellent job securing their platforms. Securing what you run on those platforms is your responsibility, and that is exactly where PlutoSec focuses. Our certified cloud security specialists understand both the cloud-provider perspective and the attacker perspective, which means we find the gaps that exist precisely at the boundary between what your cloud vendor secures and what you are responsible for. We have helped organizations across every major US industry sector build IaaS environments that are genuinely secure, not just compliant on paper.
