Virtual Machine Security

Continuously detect misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and risky settings across your virtual machines in AWS, Azure, and GCP — before attackers exploit them.

The problem

Virtual machines are a major attack surface.

Most cloud breaches still start with poorly configured virtual machines — open ports, weak credentials, missing patches, or excessive permissions. As the number of VMs grows across accounts and regions, manual reviews become impossible and risky configurations slip through.
One operating picture

One scan. Complete VM visibility.

MadStack continuously monitors your virtual machines for security risks and misconfigurations, so your team can fix issues before they become incidents.
Detect misconfigurations

Detect misconfigurations

Find open ports, public IPs, weak security groups, and missing encryption on every virtual machine.

Identify vulnerabilities

Identify vulnerabilities

Surface outdated software, missing patches, and known CVEs running on your virtual machines.

Prioritize real risk

Prioritize real risk

Focus on the VMs that are actually exposed and high-impact — not just noise.

✦ What gets detected

Findings, ranked by what matters.

Prioritized by exposure, criticality of the workload, and potential blast radius — so you fix the most dangerous issues first.

◈

Critical

Publicly exposed VMs with open management ports or known critical vulnerabilities.

High

Missing security patches, weak network rules, or excessive IAM permissions.

Medium

Outdated agents, disabled logging, or non-critical configuration issues.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

We support virtual machines across AWS (EC2), Microsoft Azure (Virtual Machines), and Google Cloud (Compute Engine), including multi-account and multi-region setups.

Yes. We check for insecure configurations (open ports, public exposure, missing encryption) as well as known vulnerabilities and missing patches on the operating system and installed software.

You can enable continuous monitoring or scheduled scans. Most teams use continuous scanning so new risks are detected within minutes of being introduced.
