Introduction
Hey y’all! I’m excited to talk about something every cloud security team is feeling right now: alert overload.
The Reality of Alert Overload
Over time, companies have built incredibly powerful CNAPPs (Wiz, Cortex, Pipes, etc.) that scan everything and surface everything. However, the reality I see over and over again is that findings pile up faster than teams can realistically fix them.
Security teams spend more time triaging alerts than actually reducing risk, and exposure windows stay open longer than anyone’s comfortable with.
Why Prevention-First Security Resonates
I partnered with Turbot to learn how their solution helps solve this and stopped by their booth at AWS re:Invent this year. Hearing their team talk about the shift to prevention-first cloud security really resonated with me.
Instead of waiting for misconfigurations to land in production, Turbot enforces guardrails at deployment time, ultimately blocking risky API calls, enforcing secure defaults, and eliminating exposure windows before they ever open.
CNAPPs Still Matter — But They’re Not Enough
CNAPPs still matter though, because they provide runtime visibility, identity insights, and posture analytics are essential.
Turbot complements that layer by preventing entire classes of misconfigurations before they ever exist, as part of a broader defense-in-depth strategy:
- CNAPP → Deep visibility, detection, & prioritization
- Turbot PSPM → Preventive guardrails at build, deploy, and runtime
What Stands Out About Turbot
And what do I really like is that Turbot tackles the hardest problems:
⚡ Zero-day security posture via org-level policies
(AWS SCPs, Azure Policy, GCP Org Policy)
🔁 Instant drift remediation at runtime
📉 Reduced attack surface + reduced alert fatigue
💨 Prevention that scales across thousands of accounts
Stop Chasing Alerts
