Your configuration data is never stored. It is analyzed only in real time to help you stay protected. Once your cloud accounts are connected, Krait immediately begins scanning your environments.
Within minutes, you’ll start seeing insights about misconfigurations, exposed assets, compliance gaps, and potential risks across your cloud resources.
Connecting AWS
You can connect your AWS account to Krait using either Access & Secret Keys or through an AWS CloudFormation Template.For improved security and easier onboarding, we strongly recommend using the CloudFormation Template.
Using AWS CloudFormation
If you prefer a secure, hands-off setup, you can onboard AWS using our pre-configured CloudFormation template.This automatically creates a read-only role that Krait uses to analyze your cloud posture without storing any data.
1
Deploy the CloudFormation Template
Click Deploy AWS CloudFormation template, which will take you to the AWS Console with the template pre-loaded.
Review the configuration and launch the stack to create the required IAM role.
2
Wait for Deployment to Complete
AWS will begin creating the stack.
Wait until the stack status becomes CREATE_COMPLETE before continuing.
This usually takes under a minute.
