Why remediation (not just detection) is the future of cloud security

Let’s face it: compliance tools are great at telling you what’s wrong. They flood your dashboard with misconfigurations, policy violations, and checklist gaps. But when it comes to actually fixing those issues — you’re on your own.

And if you’re a VP of Engineering, Head of Platform, or Security Engineer at a mid-sized company or growing SaaS startup, that “fix it yourself” model just doesn’t scale.

That’s why remediation is the battleground for the next generation of cloud security and compliance.

At Cloudgeni, we’re not just identifying issues in your IaC code — we’re resolving them. Automatically. With context. At scale.

Feeling alert fatigue? You are not alone. Contextual remediation is the differentiator.

Most CSPM tools and compliance checkers run on generic templates. They scan your infrastructure and give you a list of issues: open ports, lack of encryption, missing tags, misconfigured IAM roles.

But generic detection leads to generic noise... and fatigue.

And remediating that noise? That’s where teams burn countless hours triaging alerts, manually patching modules, and re-reviewing pull requests.

Cloudgeni takes a different approach:

• We integrate directly with your codebase.
• We understand the naming conventions, folder structure, and architecture patterns unique to your environment.
• We generate tailored pull requests to remediate violations — not generic fixes, but context-aware changes that actually work in your setup.

How we cut engineering effort by 10x

Security shouldn’t require a backlog session every Friday. With Cloudgeni you get:

• Continuous IaC scanning: We monitor your repositories for infrastructure-as-code changes and legacy misconfigurations.
• AI-generated PRs: When we find a violation (e.g., S3 bucket open to the world), we open a pull request with the fix — using your naming, your variables, your modules.
• Human QA option: You keep full control. Accept, tweak, or reject the changes. Our system learns from your preferences.
• Enforcement at source: Optionally block non-compliant changes before they hit main — without being a bottleneck.

This isn’t theoretical. One of our early users cut their security readiness prep time by 80% without expanding their security team.

Compliance is not a one-off project

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aren’t checkboxes — they’re ongoing obligations. And unless you're planning to hire a dedicated security engineer, you need automation that doesn't just scan — but remediates.

Cloudgeni turns that continuous burden into a background process:

• No more security sprint fire drills
• No more stale Jira tickets for IaC misconfigs
• No more tension between DevOps and Security

Why now

AI in security is noisy right now. Most “AI remediation” tools are just rewriting boilerplate based on static rules.

What’s needed — and what we’re building — is contextual AI: a system that understands how your cloud is architected, how your modules are wired, and how policies need to be enforced within your environment.

If you’re serious about staying compliant without overwhelming your engineers, remediation needs to move to the top of your strategy — not the bottom of your backlog.
