Performing security benchmarks on your cloud resources is an important step in ensuring the security and compliance of your organization's cloud environment.

While security benchmarks are often associated with large corporations, they provide invaluable insights and guidance for organizations and individuals of all sizes. Benchmarks offer a wealth of information on potential security risks, best practices, and compliance requirements that can help fortify your cloud environment—even if you're not legally obligated to adhere to them.

In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of performing security benchmarks on your cloud resources and introduce Resoto Sentinel, the Resoto security module designed to simplify the benchmarking process.

In today's cloud-native world, maintaining a resilient and secure infrastructure is crucial to the success of any business. However, as the cloud infrastructure grows in complexity, it becomes increasingly difficult to track all your cloud resources.

This is where Resoto comes in—Resoto ensures that information about your cloud resources is always available by routinely collecting infrastructure data across cloud providers, accounts, regions, and a plethora of services.

However, simply having cloud resource data is not enough; it is also crucial to automate actions based on this data.

For example, if a resource is no longer needed, it should be cleaned up to avoid incurring unnecessary costs. Similarly, if a resource is not properly tagged, it can be difficult to identify its purpose, leading to confusion and making reporting a mess.

Resoto provides tools to cope with such challenges. In this post, we'll explore another category of high-priority issues that often require immediate attention: breaches in the security baseline.
