Ideal Customer
- Cloudaware is purpose-built for large enterprises and Fortune 500 organizations with complex, multi-cloud and hybrid IT environments spanning multiple cloud providers, accounts, and regions.
- Named customers such as NASA, Boeing, Coca-Cola, Caterpillar, Fidelity, Charles Schwab, and Blackline confirm a focus on organizations with thousands of cloud resources, significant compliance burdens, and distributed ownership across engineering, security, and finance teams.
Key Differentiators
- Cloudaware's primary differentiator is its CMDB-first architecture, which serves as the shared data foundation for every module — FinOps, CSPM, vulnerability management, SIEM, ITAM, and compliance — rather than operating as disconnected point solutions.
- This means cost data, security findings, and compliance violations all carry asset context (owner, environment, application, region) automatically, without requiring manual tagging or data stitching.
Industries Served
- Cloudaware's documented customer base spans aerospace and defense (Boeing), government agencies (NASA), consumer goods and manufacturing (Coca-Cola, Caterpillar), financial services (Fidelity/FMR LLC, Charles Schwab, Blackline), and technology services (Salesforce, ServiceChannel).
- The platform's compliance support for HIPAA, PCI, FISMA, FedRAMP, and SOC 2 frameworks makes it particularly relevant to regulated industries including healthcare, financial services, and federal government.
Service Coverage
- Cloudaware is headquartered at 1350 Avenue of the Americas, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10019, and operates as a global SaaS platform with no geographic restriction on customer deployment.
- The company maintains support locations in the United States, the European Union, and Latin America, and its employee base spans three continents including North America, Europe, and Asia.
Partnerships
- Cloudaware holds strategic Advanced Technology Partner status with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, and is listed on all three cloud marketplaces, enabling procurement through existing cloud commitments.
- In July 2026, Cloudaware announced a formal partnership with Datadog to list Cloudaware LogSight on the Datadog Marketplace, targeting automated log coverage verification across multi-cloud environments.
Company Size & Ownership
- Cloudaware was founded in 2011 (some sources cite 2007 as the operating start) by Mikhail Malamud and is headquartered in New York City.
- Employee count estimates vary across data sources from approximately 46 to 63 employees as of 2025–2026, consistent with a small, bootstrapped SaaS company.
Compliance & Certifications
- Cloudaware's platform supports compliance automation against a broad set of frameworks including HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, CIS Benchmarks, GDPR, and CCM, with over 550 pre-built policies and benchmarks built into its CSPM module.
- The platform earned FinOps Certified Platform status from the FinOps Foundation in June 2026, confirming alignment with the FinOps Framework and validated practitioner credentials across the team.

Offerings
11 offeringsCMDB
Cloudaware's core Configuration Management Database auto-discovers and normalizes cloud and on-premises assets across AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, Oracle, and Alibaba into unified, trusted CMDB records. Each record is enriched with ownership, application, cost, security, compliance, and dependency context. It enables multi-cloud searching and reporting with a single query across providers, accounts, and regions.
CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management)
Cloudaware's CSPM module enforces cloud security controls using detailed CMDB configuration data across every managed asset. It provides advanced CSPM policies and integrates with CMDB context for complete risk assessment and remediation automation. Security posture is continuously evaluated and mapped against compliance frameworks.
FinOps
Cloudaware's FinOps module automates the collection and allocation of multi-cloud spending data across AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, and Alibaba. It uses normalized billing data and CMDB context to identify underutilized resources, idle assets, and wasteful spending. Users can track, predict, and optimize cloud costs through the FinOps studio.
Intrusion Detection
Cloudaware's intrusion detection module uses CMDB data to make contextualized assessments that detect security breaches and minimize further damage. It prioritizes suspicious activity using asset context and supports PCI, HIPAA, and SOC 2 security controls through file integrity monitoring and log inspection. The module integrates with SIEM capabilities for active threat response.
IT Asset Management (ITAM)
Cloudaware's ITAM module tracks the full lifecycle and cost of every cloud and on-premises asset using built-in CMDB discovery. It identifies and eliminates idle resources, unused licenses, and wasteful spending, and supports automated deployment for observability platforms like New Relic and Datadog. CMDB integration makes change approval easier by providing a complete and current inventory.
IT Compliance
Cloudaware's IT Compliance module deploys compliance-as-code using version-controlled, declarative policies and the CMDB service catalog for scope assertion runs. It automates evidence collection and assessment, transforming results into trackable violations mapped to standards including HIPAA, PCI, and CIS. Compliance status is continuously monitored and linked to CMDB asset records for business risk impact analysis.

SIEM
Cloudaware's SIEM system, called Conflux, automatically discovers and ingests log sources from AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Alibaba, on-premises hosts, networks, and identity services into a centralized platform. Logs are enriched with CMDB context including owner, app, environment, and region metadata to accelerate threat detection and investigation. The module includes anomaly detection, Lucene-powered search, Tines-based automation for remediation workflows, and built-in compliance reporting for SOC 2, ISO, PCI, and HIPAA.
Vulnerability Management
Cloudaware's vulnerability management module uses CMDB workflows and context to contextualize, rank, and remediate security vulnerabilities at scale.
