Cloud security should be open, intelligent, and accessible
That's why we're building Stratusec.
The Problem
Cloud security tools were built for a world that no longer exists. A world where security engineers manually review findings, remediation means a Jira ticket that waits three sprints, and "AI integration" means a chatbot that summarizes your dashboard.
The result: security teams drown in finding lists. Hundreds of misconfigurations per account. Most are noise. A few are catastrophic. And the tools can't tell you which is which — because they check resources individually, without understanding relationships.
Meanwhile, the best graph-based analysis, attack path mapping, and AI-powered remediation are locked behind commercial platforms charging $50K+/year with 12-month contracts.
Our Approach
Stratusec takes a different approach. Every cloud resource goes into a Neo4j graph. Relationships — network paths, IAM permissions, data flows, trust chains — become edges. Instead of checking resources individually, we analyze the graph.
We built natively on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard for AI agent-to-tool communication. Your AI assistant doesn't just summarize findings. It scans accounts, queries attack paths, checks compliance, generates remediation, and applies fixes through structured protocol calls.
And we made it open source. Apache 2.0. Because the tools that audit your cloud infrastructure should be transparent, community-driven, and available to every team regardless of budget.
Founded by Security Engineers
Stratusec was founded by engineers with experience across leading cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure companies — teams responsible for securing some of the largest cloud environments in the world.
We saw the gap firsthand: the tools available to well-funded security teams are excellent. The tools available to everyone else are inadequate. Open source scanners are good but lack graph analysis, prevention, and AI integration. Commercial platforms have these features but cost more than most companies' entire security budget.
Stratusec exists to close that gap.
What We Believe
Transparency Over Trust
Security tools should be open source. If software audits your infrastructure, you should be able to read every line of code.
Context Over Counts
A list of 800 findings isn't useful. Understanding which ones chain into real attack paths — that's useful.
Prevention Over Detection
Finding problems after deployment is reactive. Guardrails that prevent misconfigurations before they deploy — that's proactive.
Access Over Gatekeeping
Every team deserves production-grade cloud security. A startup with 3 engineers should have the same tools as a Fortune 500.
