Cloud Security
Workflows

Ten agent workflows for the Cloud Security Team — shadow IT discovery, SaaS risk assessment, cloud infrastructure mapping, unauthorized service detection, data sovereignty verification, cloud vendor security posture monitoring, API gateway protection, multi-cloud visibility, cloud compliance verification, and SaaS sprawl intelligence — providing comprehensive visibility into cloud-related domain activity across the enterprise.

1Shadow IT Discovery & Risk Assessment

AI agent discovers unauthorized SaaS and cloud services by analyzing employee DNS queries and web traffic against domain intelligence — identifying unsanctioned tools, assessing their security posture, and quantifying data exposure risk.
