TL;DR? We've got you covered.
This week introduced a new category of cloud security platform and showed how prevention-first security becomes achievable at scale through Turbot Guardrails' Preventive Security Posture Management (PSPM) capabilities.
Prevention-First Foundation
Introducing PSPM: Preventive Security Posture Management
A new category of cloud security tools that makes prevention-first security achievable at scale through visibility, simulation, and orchestration of preventive controls. PSPM platforms address the gap between knowing you should prevent security issues and actually implementing prevention across your entire cloud estate. Rather than generating findings about risks that already exist, PSPM tools help you prevent those risks from materializing in the first place through continuous management of preventive controls across build, access, config, and runtime layers.
Prevention-first security guides and frameworks
A free library of educational resources and principles for cloud security teams implementing prevention-first security. The Prevention Library provides framework-agnostic guidance on shifting from reactive detection to proactive prevention, including manifestos on prevention-first principles, practical guides on implementing preventive controls, and frameworks for building mature prevention programs across enterprise organizations.
Turbot Guardrails PSPM Platform
Discover, analyze and visualize your preventive posture
Interactive visualizations that show what your organization policies actually do, where exceptions exist, and which security objectives have coverage gaps. Guardrails automatically discovers cloud organization-level policies (AWS SCPs, Azure Policies, GCP Organization Policies), translates them into plain language, and maps them to security objectives. Security teams can see what they're preventing across all accounts, understand policy inheritance and blast radius, spot discrepancies and exceptions, and improve coverage without parsing complex policy JSON.
Benchmark, assess and understand gaps in your preventions
Measure how well you're preventing security risks, identify gaps in coverage, and discover the best ways to raise the bar and reduce alerts. Guardrails scores your prevention coverage across objectives, identifies which controls would have the highest impact on reducing risk, and provides recommendations on what to deploy next. Security teams can prioritize prevention efforts based on actual risk reduction potential rather than checkbox compliance, understand where gaps exist before incidents occur, and receive specific policy recommendations ready for testing and deployment.
Simulate and test AWS SCPs
Test preventive policies against real activity data, visualize blast radius, and iterate safely before deploying controls to production. The policy simulator lets you test recommendations before deployment through an interactive environment that visualizes your organization structure, evaluates policies against mock or uploaded cloud events, and enables safe what-if experimentation. Security teams can iterate through policy variations, understand blast radius across accounts, and validate behavior without any production risk before deploying policies that might break legitimate workflows.
Runtime Prevention with Guardrails
Continuous monitoring and automated remediation provide prevention without blocking. Balance agility and control with runtime guardrails that fix issues in seconds. Runtime prevention completes your defense-in-depth strategy by auto-correcting misconfigurations within seconds of detection. While access-layer controls block critical actions and enforce broad boundaries, runtime enforcement handles configurations that can be corrected after resource creation, allowing teams to move fast while maintaining compliance through 14,000+ out-of-the-box policies across AWS, Azure, GCP, GitHub, Kubernetes, and ServiceNow.
The B-sides
These were the Launch Week 11 hits, but plenty of other good things happened during this cycle. Check the B-sides for details!
And that's a wrap!
Launch Week 11 introduced Preventive Security Posture Management as a new category and demonstrated how Turbot Guardrails delivers comprehensive prevention capabilities across the entire deployment lifecycle. Visualize what you're currently preventing, assess gaps and get recommendations, safely test policies before deployment, and automatically enforce compliance at runtime. Prevention-first security is now achievable at enterprise scale.
