Use case · CNAPP alert reduction

Prevent cloud risk before it ever becomes an alert.

Your CNAPP shows you where the risk is. Blast turns those findings into guardrails that fix the risk at its root.

Fixing the finding doesn’t fix the problem.

CNAPP platforms give security teams deep visibility into cloud risk. But finding and remediating an issue does not prevent the same underlying condition from appearing again somewhere else.

  • A public resource gets fixed.
  • An over-permissioned role gets corrected.
  • An insecure configuration gets remediated.
  • Then another team, workload, account, or AI agent recreates it.
The result is a reactive loop where teams keep fixing the same risks instead of eliminating them for good.
01

The same risk keeps returning

Fixing individual findings addresses the instance, not the underlying risk class that allows it to recur.

02

Recurring risk is exploited before it’s fixed again

With AI probing at scale, a weakness that keeps reappearing gets found and used, often before there is time to patch. You need controls that are already in place.

How Blast eliminates recurring risk.

Blast moves security upstream. Instead of repeatedly remediating the same public bucket, excessive permission, exposed resource, or insecure configuration, Blast establishes a preventive boundary using native cloud controls, continuously hardening your cloud as it changes.

1

Identify what keeps coming back.

Bring together CNAPP and other detection tools findings, attack paths, security policies, best practices, and organizational requirements to identify recurring risk patterns worth eliminating permanently.

2

Turn risk into a preventive boundary.

Blast translates security intent into the appropriate native controls across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.

3

Know the impact before enforcement.

Blast simulates guardrails before rollout, helping teams understand dependencies, refine exclusions, and prevent unintended production impact.

4

Enforce once. Protect continuously.

Deploy guardrails across the relevant accounts, OUs, subscriptions, projects, and environments. Blast continuously manages the preventive boundary as your cloud evolves.

From cloud visibility to prevention.

Your CNAPP remains essential. It tells you where risk exists and what matters most. Blast takes the next step: preventing the same risk from being introduced again.

CNAPP & CSPM

Find and prioritize risk

Your CNAPP keeps finding and prioritizing risk across posture, identities, and runtime, with CSPM, CIEM, and CDR in one place.

+
Blast

Turn insight into prevention

Blast uses those insights to help establish preventive guardrails that eliminate recurring risk at the control layer.

Together

A security backlog that actually shrinks

Every risk class you prevent means fewer future findings, fewer recurring remediation cycles, and less operational load on security and engineering.

“Blast gave us the capabilities to do prevention at scale. In an AI-driven era having a preventive layer that enables rather than blocks development is no longer optional, it’s foundational.”

CNAPP alert reduction, answered.

We already have a CNAPP. Isn’t this overlap?

No, and the boundary is clean: your CNAPP tells you what happened, Blast makes it stop happening. Your CNAPP creates findings for your team to fix. Blast enforces controls so the finding never gets created. The integration is the proof; Blast uses your CNAPP data to rank which guardrail to enforce first.

Do we need a CNAPP for Blast to work?

No. The integration sharpens prioritization, but Blast independently assesses your environment, builds the guardrail set, and runs simulation from your own activity logs. Prevention does not wait for something to happen first.

Which native controls does Blast use to harden the cloud?

Blast works with the native enforcement controls of each cloud provider: organization-level policies on AWS, Azure, and GCP that sit above account permissions, plus admission controls for Kubernetes. Because enforcement happens in the provider’s own control plane, there is no agent to deploy and no way around the boundary, even with compromised credentials. Blast’s role is making these controls usable: assessed, simulated, and enforced at scale.

How do you guarantee a guardrail will not break production?

Every guardrail is simulated against your own activity logs before enforcement. Blast evaluates the control against historical API activity, surfaces every identity, workload, and pipeline that would have been affected, and lets you refine exclusions first. Rollout is then staged across OUs, subscriptions, and projects, so enforcement only happens once the impact is known.

How does enforcement stay intact as the cloud changes?

Blast continuously monitors guardrail coverage and configuration drift. New accounts, projects, and workloads inherit the boundary automatically, and any degradation of a control triggers an assessment before it becomes a gap.

Can guardrails serve as compensating controls when we cannot patch in time?

Yes. That is one of the main ways customers use Blast. When a vulnerability cannot be patched fast enough, or a scanner has not surfaced it yet, an enforced boundary limits what the weakness can reach. Protection holds even when patching lags.

Stop fixing the same finding twice.
