Techniques for cloud security monitoring and threat intelligence

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• accessing, by a cloud security system, security configuration data from a plurality of cloud provider systems, wherein the security configuration data comprises information describing security controls that govern access to the plurality of cloud provider systems;
• receiving, by the cloud security system, a security policy to be applied to a user of a plurality of cloud applications that are hosted across the plurality of cloud provider systems;
• and
• sending, by the cloud security system, values for the security controls at the plurality of cloud provider systems to govern the user's access to the plurality of cloud applications that are hosted across the plurality of cloud provider systems, wherein a uniform security policy is enforced across the plurality of cloud provider systems by the cloud security system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• accessing, by a cloud security system, security configuration data from a plurality of cloud provider systems, wherein the security configuration data comprises information describing security controls that govern access to the plurality of cloud provider systems;
• receiving, by the cloud security system, a security policy to be applied to a user of a plurality of cloud applications that are hosted across the plurality of cloud provider systems;
• and
• sending, by the cloud security system, values for the security controls at the plurality of cloud provider systems to govern the user's access to the plurality of cloud applications that are hosted across the plurality of cloud provider systems, wherein a uniform security policy is enforced across the plurality of cloud provider systems by the cloud security system.
