Circumvent is a cloud security company with offices in Sydney, and San Francisco, focused on changing the way enterprises manage the security of their cloud infrastructure and applications. Rather than manually triaging individual alerts and assessing business context after the fact, Circumvent’s platform autonomously correlates and triages alerts, delivering accurate prioritization and supervised remediation with one-click human verification. By eliminating alert fatigue and providing source-level fixes, Circumvent helps security teams focus on what matters most—resolving critical risks faster and more effectively.

Cloud Conformity is a SaaS tool providing clients unparalleled visibility, control, governance, and reporting into their Public Cloud Infrastructure within seconds. Cloud Conformity provides 500+ Rules across 50+ AWS Services with a step by step resolution instructions for each of these rules. Out of the box integrations with popular communication channels and ticketing systems allow real-time and automated workflows to be executed and remediated. Our monitoring provides auto-remediation by leveraging the largest AWS Rules Engine in existence mapped to the Well Architected Framework. But, why wait until your changes hit you environment to solve them? Utilize our Cloud Formation Template Scanning to find and fix errors pre-deployment. This gives your engineers the ability to fix issues early in the development cycle, optimize their precious time and speed up release cycles. Here is the cool part - our tool does all of this and more while solely requiring read-only permissions, we only see meta data related to your infrastructure and we are not interested in your application data. We look forward to meeting you and chat about your cloud compliance, security and governance strategy.
