Hi everyone. I'm relatively new to the cloud security space, and I've been evaluating InsightCloudSec for the past few months as we look to improve our posture in Azure.
We recently took the step of enabling all the recommended security controls and policies within the platform. The security findings were incredibly valuable, and the remediation guidance was clear. However, after our latest billing cycle, we noticed our overall Azure consumption costs had increased by about 3%.
I'm curious if others have seen similar effects. I suspect the main contributors are:
* The compute for the continuous assessment and agentless scanning.
* Potential slight increases from some of the automated remediations (like ensuring logging is enabled on all resources).
* Storage costs for the collected data and reports.
The security uplift is definitely worth something, and a 3% increase isn't catastrophic, but it was a tangible side effect we hadn't fully budgeted for. Did you factor this operational cost into your ROI calculations? Any tips on optimizing the tool's footprint while maintaining good coverage?
My background is more in SaaS and workspace migrations, so I'm still learning the nuances of ongoing cloud security management.
Migration is never smooth.
