We’re excited to announce the launch of Astra Cloud Vulnerability Scanner, designed to help teams continuously detect misconfigurations, IAM risks, and compliance gaps across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Built on Astra’s Offensive Security Engine, the Cloud Scanner gives you continuous visibility into your cloud environment, helping you find real risks faster and fix them before they impact production.
Monitor your entire cloud environment from IAM roles and exposed storage to public endpoints and policy misconfigurations. Astra automatically detects new resources and scans them in real time, so you never miss a drift or hidden risk.
Built for AWS, Azure, and GCP, the scanner runs hundreds of cloud-specific checks to identify:
AWS Inspector V2 Vulnerability Scanner Not Enabled
Secret Rotation Interval Not Configured Properly
Missing Monitoring for Network
Detect Unauthorized KMS Key
Storage Bucket Public Access Check
Cloud Storage Bucket Versioning Check
Cloud Function has Default Service Account Enabled
Outdated Python Version for web apps
Web App Client Certificate Validation Disabled
Every finding includes actionable guidance and code-level fixes. You can trigger an automated rescan instantly to verify the resolution, no waiting on pentesters, no second opinions. Your cloud team can go from detection to resolution faster than ever.
Getting started is simple: connect your cloud accounts with read-only permissions and start scanning right away. No agents, no complex deployments, and zero performance impact on your infrastructure.
The Cloud Scanner works seamlessly alongside Astra’s other solutions, DAST, API Security, and PTaaS, giving you one unified dashboard for everything from cloud posture to app vulnerabilities. Manage all your security findings, guided fixes, and validation proof from a single, easy-to-use platform.
Your cloud evolves by the minute; your security should, too. Experience a faster, clearer, and more actionable way to stay ahead of misconfigurations.

This release introduces troubleshooting for connectivity check failures, giving you clear insights and self-serve resolution steps. Alongside this, we’ve expanded pentest scheduling to cover more asset types, improved scanning workflows, and delivered key bug fixes to ensure a smoother, more reliable experience.
New Feature:
Connectivity Check Failure
We’ve enhanced the way connectivity check failures are communicated on the Astra OrbitX Platform. Instead of just showing a failure message, you will now see actionable insights and easy troubleshooting tips to help resolve issues faster. With this update, you can now:
Understand the reason behind a failed connectivity check
Receive guided troubleshooting steps
Quickly identify whether the issue requires configuration changes on your end
Save time by resolving common connectivity problems without external support
