Challenges It Solves
Security misconfigurations in VMware and cloud environments can lead to data breaches and compliance violations.
Manual configuration auditing is time-consuming and error-prone, especially across hybrid and multi-cloud setups.
Organizations struggle to prioritize remediation efforts without runtime context about business impact.
Compliance drift goes undetected, causing failures in regulatory audits.
