Continuous Monitoring
24/7 security and compliance monitoring with real-time alerts. Detect configuration drift, security issues, and compliance gaps the moment they occur.
Real-Time Security Monitoring
Axura continuously monitors your cloud infrastructure and connected integrations for security misconfigurations, compliance drift, and potential threats.
Configuration Monitoring
Track changes to security configurations across AWS, GCP, Azure, and other cloud providers.
Drift Detection
Automatically detect when configurations drift from your defined compliance baseline.
Anomaly Detection
AI-powered detection of unusual patterns that may indicate security issues.
Compliance Scoring
Real-time compliance score updates as your environment changes.
What Gets Monitored
| Category | Monitored Items | Alert Types |
|---|---|---|
| Access Control | IAM policies, user permissions, MFA status | Overprivileged access, MFA disabled |
| Data Security | Encryption settings, bucket policies, data exposure | Unencrypted storage, public access |
| Network Security | Security groups, firewall rules, VPC configs | Open ports, permissive rules |
| Logging | CloudTrail, audit logs, monitoring services | Logging disabled, gaps in coverage |
| Compliance | Control status, evidence freshness, policy adherence | Control failures, expired evidence |
Drift Detection
Configuration drift occurs when your actual infrastructure state differs from your desired compliance baseline. Axura detects drift automatically.
BASELINE (Defined Compliance State):
└─ S3 buckets: Public access blocked
└─ IAM users: MFA required
└─ RDS: Encryption enabled
CURRENT STATE (Detected Change):
└─ S3 bucket "temp-uploads": Public read enabled ⚠️ DRIFT
└─ IAM user "contractor-john": MFA not configured ⚠️ DRIFT
└─ RDS: Encryption enabled ✅ OK
ALERT: 2 drift events detected
→ Remediation suggested for each event
→ Compliance score impact: -5%Alert Configuration
Customize how and when you receive alerts:
Severity Thresholds
Only alert on Critical/High issues, or include Medium/Low for comprehensive monitoring.
Channel Routing
Route alerts to different Slack channels, email groups, or PagerDuty based on type.
Quiet Hours
Suppress non-critical alerts during off-hours while still alerting on critical issues.
Alert Aggregation
Group related alerts to avoid notification fatigue.
