☁️🔍 Free Cloud Misconfiguration Scanners You’ll Wish You Tried Earlier ☁️🔍

Cloud misconfigurations remain the #1 cause of breaches in 2025 – and the worst part is, most could have been avoided with the right tools. Here are some free scanners that every CISO should have in their arsenal:

1️⃣ ScoutSuite – Multi-cloud security auditing tool by NCC Group.
🔗 https://github.com/nccgroup/ScoutSuite

2️⃣ Prowler – AWS, Azure, and GCP security best practices scanner.
🔗 https://github.com/prowler-cloud/prowler

3️⃣ CloudSploit by Aqua – Continuous configuration monitoring for major cloud providers.
🔗 https://github.com/aquasecurity/cloudsploit

4️⃣ Checkov – Policy-as-code scanner for IaC (Terraform, Kubernetes, CloudFormation).
🔗 https://github.com/bridgecrewio/checkov

5️⃣ Cloud Custodian – Rules engine for governance and compliance enforcement.
🔗 https://github.com/cloud-custodian/cloud-custodian

⚡These tools highlight risky IAM roles, exposed buckets, insecure defaults, and weak policies – the same gaps attackers exploit.

At AUMINT.io, we look at the other side of the coin – simulating how attackers exploit the human misconfigurations through phishing, vishing, and social engineering. Because even a perfectly hardened cloud is vulnerable if an employee gives access away.

🚨 PipeMagic Malware Threatens Critical Industrial Systems

💡 PipeMagic targets pipeline management systems, manipulating valves, monitoring operations, and hiding in plain sight.

⚠️ What makes it dangerous? It combines technological exploits with human errors, bypassing traditional IT defenses to compromise industrial operations.

📊 Most organizations focus on IT security while leaving operational technology exposed. Attackers know OT networks are the true leverage points.

🔍 Employee actions are just as critical – executing one malicious command can give attackers full operational control.

🔥 Mitigation requires a dual approach: strengthen OT defenses and train employees to spot sophisticated attacks through recurring, realistic simulations.

👥 AUMINT Trident provides these simulations, tracking vulnerabilities and turning employees into active defenders before attacks succeed.

🕵️‍♂️ 5 Free Zero-Day Trackers Every CISO Needs Handy 🕵️‍♂️

Zero-days remain one of the biggest blind spots for security teams. Staying ahead means knowing where to track active vulnerabilities before they hit mainstream feeds. Here are 5 free resources every CISO should keep in their toolkit:

1️⃣ CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog – Actively exploited vulnerabilities updated continuously.
https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog

2️⃣ MITRE CVE Database – The definitive catalog of vulnerabilities, including emerging zero-days.
https://cve.mitre.org/

3️⃣ Google Project Zero – Research group uncovering and publishing zero-day findings.
https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/

4️⃣ ZDI (Zero Day Initiative) – Public advisories on discovered and responsibly disclosed zero-days.
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/published/

5️⃣ Exploit Database (OffSec) – Community-driven database tracking zero-day exploits and proof-of-concepts.
https://www.exploit-db.com/

⚡ These trackers won’t stop attacks alone, but they give CISOs the visibility to patch fast, prioritize risks, and brief leadership with confidence.

At AUMINT.io, we go a step further – simulating how attackers exploit the human factor with phishing, vishing, and deepfake social engineering before a zero-day even gets weaponized.
