Hybrid Cloud Defense Grid: Bridging Wiz and Runtime Telemetry

The modern cloud security landscape faces challenges in integrating Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platforms, like Wiz, that identify potential vulnerabilities and Runtime Defense tools that log activity, often resulting in a disconnect between risk mapping and real-time monitoring. The proposed Hybrid Cloud Defense Grid architecture aims to bridge this gap by combining static metadata from CSPM tools with high-velocity runtime telemetry through Snowbit’s observability pipeline, allowing for a more dynamic assessment of whether identified vulnerabilities are actively being exploited. This approach addresses the challenge of correlating static asset data with runtime logs at scale by employing a Log2Metric design pattern, which processes data in-stream to generate efficient, high-fidelity signals. The architecture uses PromQL for detection logic, enabling a nuanced understanding of network activities in the context of potential vulnerabilities, thus enhancing active defense capabilities by ensuring that alerts are meaningful and contextually relevant.
