Applicare continuously scans your cloud, Kubernetes, and infrastructure for configuration risk and operational vulnerabilities. IntelliTrace explains why each finding matters — in plain English. IntelliTune drafts the fix as a PR — assigned to the engineer who owns the resource.
Security Posture Management is the practice of continuously checking your cloud, Kubernetes, and infrastructure for configuration mistakes that introduce risk — before someone exploits them. A misconfigured storage bucket. A privileged container. A wildcard IAM policy. Done well, it catches the change at the moment it’s made, names the engineer who introduced it, and drafts the fix. Done poorly, it produces a backlog nobody triages. Applicare treats each finding as a working ticket with a draft fix attached — not a row in a dashboard nobody reads.
A backlog of 10,000 untriaged findings doesn’t reduce risk — it hides the one that matters. Applicare ranks findings by exploitability, links each to its owner, and drafts the remediation as a PR. The workflow ends at “merged,” not “assigned.”
Broad detection. Misconfig patterns across cloud, Kubernetes, IAM, container, network, and secrets — updated continuously as new attack patterns surface.
Real-time, not snapshot. When a Terraform plan or Kubernetes manifest introduces a risk, the finding surfaces in under a minute — not in next week’s scan report.
From finding to fix. IntelliTune doesn’t just flag the problem — it drafts the remediation, opens a PR, and assigns it to the engineer who owns the resource.

A developer ships a Terraform plan that updates an S3 bucket holding customer order records. The plan inadvertently drops the bucket policy that denied public access. The change applies in their CI/CD pipeline. 1.2TB of customer data is now reachable from the internet.
Applicare detects the bucket policy change against the previous baseline. The finding is ranked critical: customer-orders-prod-bucket is now publicly readable, contains 1.2TB across 4.1M objects, and is referenced by checkout-svc in production.
IntelliTrace maps the change to commit a47f9d2 by @jane.dev, applied 8 seconds ago. The same Terraform plan touched 11 other resources — IntelliTrace surfaces all of them, ranked by exposure.
ArcIn explains in plain English: “This bucket holds customer order records. With public read enabled, anyone on the internet can list and download these objects. The previous version had an explicit deny-public statement; the latest Terraform plan removed it — almost certainly unintentionally.”
IntelliTune drafts PR #4831: restore the deny-public statement and add a bucket-level PublicAccessBlock. The PR is assigned to @jane.dev. While the PR awaits review, the change is auto-rolled back behind your existing approval gates. Zero external requests served. Zero exposure window.

Read-only API access to AWS, Azure, and GCP — with the minimum permissions needed to enumerate resources and read configuration. No agents required for cloud posture. For Kubernetes, container, and runtime checks, a lightweight collector deploys via Helm or your existing OpenTelemetry pipeline.
Yes. Every finding is linked to the Terraform plan, Helm chart, or manifest change that caused it — with the commit hash and author resolved automatically. Drafted PRs are assigned to the responsible engineer; ticketing integrations route the finding through your existing workflow.
It can. Most customers consolidate CSPM and additional posture surfaces (Kubernetes, IAM, container, secrets) onto Applicare because of the causal context and remediation drafting. If you prefer to keep your existing CSPM as the system of record, Applicare can ingest its findings and add the causal links + drafted fixes on top.
Findings are ranked by exploitability and blast radius, not by rule severity in isolation. A public bucket that holds customer data ranks higher than a public bucket of static marketing assets. Suppression rules can be scoped per resource, per environment, or per ownership team — with a change-history record of who suppressed what.
By default, yes. IntelliTune drafts the PR and waits for human review through your existing approval rules. For low-risk patterns and known-safe fixes, IntelliTune can be configured to apply changes directly — behind policy gates you control, with a full change-history record of every action taken.
