Cloud Infrastructure Sync allows us to automatically update your cloud IP footprint daily. This reduces the time it takes to refresh cloud IPs, improves the accuracy of our data, and prevents misattributions. It allows Bitsight users to include their cloud security posture as part of their Bitsight rating. Inclusion is optional and controlled by the users.
Better visibility into public cloud infrastructure is a common and sought-after request. With a one-time setup, your cloud IP addresses will automatically update in your Bitsight companies.
- Comparable: Compare cloud and non-cloud hosted security performance.
- Objective: Independently calculated rating.
- Shareable: Enable efficient conversations between your security team and third parties who are monitoring your security posture.
We scan for assets several times per day and will reflect changes that persist for an entire period of 48 hours. It takes 15 minutes to set up; you’ll need to have your cloud provider’s admin role.
These assets will be visible in your ratings tree three to five days after the initial setup.
