  • Monitoring of Google Cloud Resource Communication: View real-time and over-time Google Cloud topology map and network communication, including in cluster, in account, communication with AWS services, and from/to the internet.
  • Posture Management: Easily discover misconfigurations, compliance violations, exposed secrets, malware and external exposures.
  • Real-time Threat Detection and Response for Google Cloud: Detect threats in real time and respond to them at the process, network, file, or system-call level.
  • Vulnerability Management for Google Cloud: Discover all vulnerabilities in Google Cloud and prioritize them based on real environmental variables.
  • API Security for Google Cloud: Discover and catalog all APIs for Google Cloud  resources, monitor API traffic and requests over time, and discover all your API vulnerabilities.

All of the above capabilities are available for Google Cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments, making it easy to manage your entire infrastructure in one centralized platform.
