Who We Are
Strato-Cloud.io is an innovative startup dedicated to securing, simplifying and optimizing access, governance and service usage across clouds with full visibility for businesses of all sizes. The Founders held senior leadership positions and have built, managed such a system at a Fortune 500 company that cut-across AWS, GCP and Azure and had tens of thousands of accounts under management.Our mission is to enable the use of cutting-edge cloud technologies and empower organizations to scale securely and efficiently.
Why Strato-Cloud.io?
In enterprises multi-cloud is already a reality with over 80+% enterprises using or planning to use multiple clouds in the future.
With Multi Cloud, one also has the challenge of managing different cloud infrastructures, access credentials and governance in a secure and compliant way for human and non-human users. This makes management of access and safe governance even more of a priority.
Leaked credentials or improper governance can lead to loss of reputation and can harm a firm’s ability to do business as seen with the National Public Data cyberattack which caused the company to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
These problems were observed in a Fortune 500 company where leakage of static, long lived credentials from different accounts caused around a million USD in public cloud charges because of crypto mining. It was difficult for InfoSec, FinOps and even engineering organizations to identify the owners and the managers responsible for an account when there was a breach or a question about a specific account. Similar challenges were also found in small businesses. A comprehensive solution was implemented in the fortune 500 company to resolve these issues, and we believe our solution can make a significant positive impact in the industry.
Strato-cloud.io allows the right level of visibility, access to different clouds, accounts as configured. This allows different personas in a business to get the right level of access without compromising security and compliance.
