Show HN: Kexa.io – Open-Source IT Security, Compliance and AI-Powered

Hi HN, We're building Kexa.io (https://github.com/kexa-io/Kexa), an open-source tool developed in France (incubated at Euratech Cyber Campus) to help teams automate the often tedious process of verifying IT security and compliance. Keeping track of configurations across diverse assets (servers, K8s, cloud resources) and ensuring they meet security baselines (like CIS benchmarks, etc.) manually is challenging and error-prone. Our goal with the open-source core is to provide a straightforward way to define checks, scan your assets, and get clear reports on your security posture. You can define your own rules or use common standards. We'd love for the HN community to check out the open-source project on GitHub. Feedback on the concept or the current tool is highly welcome, and a star if you find it interesting helps others discover the proje

itially targeting AWS, GCP, Azure). Instead of just reporting issues, this agent will aim to provide proactive, actionable recommendations and potentially automate certain remediation tasks to simplify cloud security management and hardening. We'd love for the HN community to check out the open-source project on GitHub. Feedback on the concept or the current tool is highly welcome, and a star if you find it interesting helps others discover the project! If the upcoming AI-powered cloud security agent sounds interesting, we'd be particularly keen to hear your thoughts or if you might be interested in joining the beta (~June 2025). thank you !!

Show HN: Open-Source and Cross-Cloud Policies-as-Code Solution

Hi HN ! I'm excited to share with you a tool i've worked on, and that could help you in many situations. If you have any feedback on the idea, the script or anything else related to the project, I'd love to hear from you. TLDR : Kexa is a Open Source and Cross-Cloud script that read YAML rules, gather resources from cloud providers, cloud services, and report you and your teams if a rule has been broken. The greatest advantage of this script is that it has been designed to be fully extensible, making it easy to write new rules, add new addons or add new functionalities, while remaining lightweight and easy to deploy anywhere. You can check how it look like here : https://kexa.io/ And on Github : https://github.com/4urcloud/Kexa *Main features :* Let me list to you a few use cases, with the associated 'addons' (cloud services, providers) t

hat can already be used in the current state : - Azure, AWS, GCP : - Check for orphan resources (costs optimizations) - Verify dangerous network rules (security) - Ensure tags are compliant with standards (compliance) - Verify for secrets or token rotation/expiration (security) - Ensure user are using MFA (security) - Kubernetes : - Ensure pods are running (operational excellence) - Ensure names compliance (compliance) - Github - Ensure runners are online (operational excellence) - Ensure branches are protected (security) - HTTP - Check for certificates expiration or presence (security) - Check for response code (operational excellence) The notification system allow you to be notified by Mail, SMS, Teams, Webhook as well as setting different alert level and channel for each rules file you're editing. CIS Benchmarks have been followed by our Teams to create a set of rules for Azure, that will allow you to have a quick report on your compliance to those Benchmarks ! More CIS Benchmarks rules are coming for all providers, inform us if you're interested. We've developed a SaaS where you can visualize Kexa scans results and historic, and explore the resources that raised the error. *How can you run it ?* In any cloud functions, with the Github action available here: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/kexa-action Or even locally if you want a quick report on a set of rules (ex: CIS Benchmarks rules that are available as Kexa rules for Azure and more to come) If you're interested, you can follow the documentation here : https://github.com/4urcloud/Kexa/blob/main/documentation/Doc... And if you like the project, do not forget to star us on Github ! https://github.com/4urcloud/Kexa Thank you for reading, hoping i'll have your feedback on this

Show HN: Get a report on your compliance to CIS Benchmarks (Azure and AWS)

Easy to run script that allow you to have a report on your compliance to CIS Benchmarks rules. Get the YAML rules from the repository, run the script, and get your results by SMS, Email, Teams, or simply by reading the logs. Currently available for AWS & Azure CIS Benchmarks, else you can check the rules folder in the repository to find rules you want to apply for the next report !

I'm reaching out to share a project I've been working on with my team. We've put a lot of effort into this project and are now looking for more test users to help us refine and grow our solution. If you're familiar and interested in cloud computing, especially when it comes to automating verifications, normalization, and security across different cloud providers, please take a minute to read this! Quick Presentation: Managing normalization across various cloud services can be a challenge. Our goal is to make this easier by providing an Open Source script that reads YAML rules to apply verifications across all clouds with a unique rule system. The script can notify you through different notification systems that you can set up (email, phone, logs, webhooks). Everything is editable and extensible. You can easily build new rules based on o

In Building a Cross-Cloud Rules System as Open Source Script
Greetings Y-Combinator community, I'm excited to share insights into our recent exploration of CIS Benchmarks compliance with Kexa script : https://github.com/4urcloud/Kexa After much hard work, we've finally build an easy-to-use Open Source automation script that you can use on most of AWS resources. This enhancement is also available for Azure, where you will be able to retrieve almost all SDKs resources. We've also analysed CIS Benchmarks to build pre-defined rules. Read the detailed article here: https://medium.com/@contact_52772/aws-kexa-how-to-automatize... For a personalized demonstration by our team, feel free to reach out to us at: contact@4urcloud.eu Whether you operate on AWS or other platforms, Kexa offers support for Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Office 365, Google Workspace, API checker, and more.
