Five problems, one underlying capability.
Each of these is the same engine asked a different question: what does this configuration actually permit, and what happens if it changes.
Centralized firewall management
Network security teams running more than one vendor
Every rulebase in one place, with the semantics each platform actually uses. An ordered firewall rulebase and an unordered security group are not the same thing, and treating them alike produces wrong answers.
One inventory instead of one console per provider.
Attack-surface reduction
Security engineering and cloud platform teams
Find what is reachable from the internet, and what is reachable from too much of the inside. Scoring is a configurable policy, not a hardcoded opinion, because a public load balancer on 443 is the point and the same rule at a database is an incident.
A ranked list you can defend to an owner.
Policy cleanup
Anyone who inherited a rulebase
Duplicates written with different object names, rules shadowed by a broader rule above them, redundant subsets, conflicting pairs, and objects nothing references. Each one confirmed semantically before it is reported.
Fewer rules, with a reason recorded for each removal.
Connectivity troubleshooting
On-call engineers at 2am
Ask whether a specific flow can communicate and get the answer with the deciding rule named, instead of reading four consoles and inferring. When something on the path is unknown, it says so rather than sending you down a wrong path.
Minutes instead of an escalation chain.
Audit and compliance
GRC, internal audit, external assessors
Every verdict cites the rule and the raw configuration it came from, and every change records who made it, when, and what the previous value was. Snapshots are append-only, so a point in time can be produced later.
Evidence that does not have to be reconstructed.
Cloud Patrol does not claim to find everything. Shadowing is detected pairwise, so a rule shadowed only by the combined effect of several rules above it is not reported. That is an under-approximation on purpose: it misses findings rather than inventing them, and a false finding costs an operator a rule that was doing work.
Bring the messiest rulebase you have.
A demo runs read-only against your configuration. Nothing changes without your approval.
