C3M Cloud Control vs Microsoft Defender for Business

C3M Cloud Control is an agentless platform for cloud security, identity and entitlement governance, and compliance assurance. It continuously assesses multicloud infrastructure for security and compliance risks and can remediate them. Access Control manages identity entitlements and enforces least privilege, with inventory, access-key monitoring, excessive-permission detection, audit timelines, policy enforcement, and one-click remediation for unused entitlements. Playbooks for AWS, GCP, and Azure can remediate resources, notify administrators, create incident tickets, and send violations to SIEM tools. Customers can add custom actions using cloud functions in languages including Java, Node.js, and Python. Compliance monitoring evaluates resources against PCI, GDPR, NIST, CIS, FedRAMP, HITRUST, and HIPAA, and supports custom packages. Its IaC module scans Terraform templates; support for CloudFormation, ARM, Kubernetes, and other IaC templates is described as coming soon. It offers a free assessment for up to two cloud accounts. The main plan’s price is available on request.
