# Vulnerability management platform for cloud workloads and containers.

**Cloudaware supports vulnerability management across cloud workloads and container environments through multiple assessment sources.** Its documented scan types include agent-based host scanning, IP-based network scanning, URL and web-application scanning, and container or image scanning. It can also ingest findings from supported cloud-native and third-party vulnerability tools.

Cloudaware relates these findings to CMDB inventory so teams can see coverage gaps and add application, environment, owner, organizational unit, and criticality context. Exact coverage depends on the connected scanners, credentials, agents, registry access, and other configuration used for each environment. Cloudaware helps prioritize, route, and track remediation; it does not mean every workload is scanned automatically without the required setup.

## What Cloudaware uses

- **Inputs:** Scanner findings, cloud-native services, agents, network, web, container, and image assessments.
- **Context:** Affected CI, application, environment, owner, department, criticality, exposure, age, severity, SLA, and exception status.
- **Outputs:** Prioritized findings, coverage views, dashboards, alerts, tickets, exceptions, and remediation tracking.

## What to verify before choosing a platform

- **Coverage:** Confirm supported scan types, imported sources, credentials, eligible assets, and the denominator used to measure coverage.
- **Context:** Verify that findings map to CIs, applications, environments, owners, departments, and criticality rather than remaining isolated scanner records.
- **Prioritization:** Test the fields used for review order, including severity, exploit context, exposure, asset role, age, business impact, SLA, and exception status.
- **Handoff:** Inspect the enriched Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, or email payload and confirm assignment, status synchronization, escalation, and closure behavior.

## How the operating model works

1. Connect the authoritative data or assessment sources.
2. Normalize source records and relate them to CMDB configuration items.
3. Add application, environment, owner, department, criticality, relationship, and workflow context where applicable.
4. Use interactive dashboards, reports, lists, and relationship views to inspect the collected data and make decisions.
5. Route enriched alerts or records through configured Jira, ServiceNow, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, email, or other supported workflows.
6. Track the response. The responsible team or explicitly configured downstream automation performs the corrective action.

## Accuracy boundaries

- Exact coverage depends on connected sources, permissions, supported objects, credentials, agents where required, and configuration.
- Dashboards visualize and relate the available data. Viewing a dashboard does not remediate an issue.
- Cloudaware supports remediation by enriching, assigning, notifying, routing, coordinating, and tracking work. It does not imply universal autonomous remediation.
- The originating system remains authoritative for imported findings, billing records, and source-specific observations.
- Validate product fit against representative production data, workflows, scale, governance, and required integrations.
