Cloud risk doesn’t start
as an incident.

It starts as a quiet change in live infrastructure. ops0 catches it as it forms, and moves the fix before it becomes one.

ops0 is preventive cloud security for cloud infrastructure. It finds hidden risks in live cloud and moves fixes through policy, cost, approval, pull request, and audit.

Risk found before alert, audit, or emergency change.
IaC is not the whole truth.
Production keeps changing after code review. ops0 starts from live cloud, not only the files you hope still match it.
Alerts arrive after risk has formed.
Observability tells you when systems feel pain. ops0 catches exposure, drift, dependencies, and policy gaps before they become incident work.
Fixes need a governed path.
Finding risk is not enough. ops0 moves the fix through policy, cost, approval, PR, and audit before anything changes.

What changes when risk
is caught early.

Before

Find public exposure after someone opens an incident.

After

Catch exposure, drift, cost risk, and policy gaps before they become incident work.

Before

Review IaC without knowing what is already running.

After

Every review starts from live cloud, not only what is in the repo.

Before

Treat dashboards as proof that cloud risk is controlled.

After

Each risk shows impact, blast radius, and the governed fix path.

Before

Ask AI or CLI tools to change infra without policy context.

After

AI and CLI changes are checked against policy before they move.

Before

Leave findings stuck between security, platform, and owners.

After

The fix travels through approval, PR, and audit in one control path.

Governed fix path

One risk. One governed fix path.

From finding to governed action.

Risk: A quiet change surfaces in live cloud: a public path, a drifted rule, an unmanaged resource, before anything pages.

Impact: ops0 maps what it can reach: the services, data paths, and dependencies inside its blast radius.

Fix: A reviewed change is drafted in Terraform, OpenTofu, or Oxid, without bypassing your guardrails.

Policy: The change is checked against policy and cost before it is allowed to move.

Approval: The right owner signs off. Risky production changes wait for that signoff.

Audit: Risk, impact, policy result, approval, and the reviewed pull request stay attached as evidence for every review.

The layer most platforms
never reach.

Risk explanation

The production ledger is publicly reachable and no Terraform file describes it. A leaked credential or a database exploit would reach payment and settlement data directly, with no review in the way.

It maps what one hidden risk can reach, before the incident exists.
It sees what IaC review can’t.
The database is in no Terraform file. ops0 finds it in live cloud, maps everything it touches, then brings it under code.
Infrastructure you can question.
Dependencies, cost, and exposure live in one queryable graph, so blast radius is a lookup, not a war room.
Sensitive data caught before AI sees it.
Hardcoded credentials and PII are detected and blocked before any model sees them, and secret values are architecturally excluded from AI context.

Depth isn’t a marketing claim. It’s measurable.

3
Scan engines correlated

Three engines check every account. When they agree, a finding is confirmed, and context rules suppress the rest, so you chase real risk, not noise.

184
Cloud posture controls

Plus 39 network exposure checks, run across every connected account to surface risk before it becomes an incident.

80+
Sensitive patterns intercepted

Cloud keys, API tokens, database URLs, PII, PHI, and biometrics, detected and blocked before any AI model sees them.

Common questions

Preventive cloud security finds dangerous conditions in cloud infrastructure and controls the changes needed to remove them before they become incidents. Instead of alerting after an outage or exposure, ops0 catches drift, public exposure, unmanaged resources, and policy gaps in live cloud, then moves the fix through policy, cost, approval, pull request, and audit.
