Overview

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is the process of securing multi-cloud environments through enhanced visibility, risk and misconfiguration identification, posture assessment, and compliance protocols. CodeAnt AI continuously monitor cloud infrastructure—such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)—for gaps in security policy enforcement.

​
Key Features

  • Multi-Cloud Support: Currently supports AWS, GCP and Azure.
  • Seamless Integration: Connect seamlessly with any cloud provider and continuously monitor for security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance issues.

​
How It Works

  1. Permissions
    1. Create a dedicated service account in each project. 
      PROJECT_ID=<your-project-id>
SA=codeant-cspm
gcloud iam service-accounts create $SA --project $PROJECT_ID \
  --description="CodeAnt AI CSPM scanner" \
  --display-name="CodeAnt CSPM"
    2. Grant the minimum roles: 
      gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
  --member="serviceAccount:${SA}@${PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/viewer"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
  --member="serviceAccount:${SA}@${PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/cloudasset.viewer"

PROJECT_NUMBER=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT_ID --format="value(projectNumber)")

SERVICE_AGENT="service-${PROJECT_NUMBER}@gcp-sa-cloudasset.iam.gserviceaccount.com"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
  --member="serviceAccount:${SERVICE_AGENT}" \
  --role="roles/servicenetworking.serviceAgent"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
  --member="serviceAccount:${SERVICE_AGENT}" \
  --role="roles/storage.objectAdmin"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
  --member="serviceAccount:${SA}@${PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/storage.admin"

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID \
  --member="serviceAccount:${SA}@${PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \
  --role="roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageConsumer"
      These roles cover the required cloudasset.assets.exportResource and cloudasset.assets.exportIamPolicy permissions.
    3. Enable the Cloud Asset Inventory API (one-time per project): 
      gcloud services enable cloudasset.googleapis.com --project $PROJECT_ID
    4. Generate and download a JSON key—keep it out of version control: 
      gcloud iam service-accounts keys create ./codeant-cspm.json \
  --iam-account="${SA}@${PROJECT_ID}.iam.gserviceaccount.com"
  2. Settings
    • In the CodeAnt UI navigate to Settings -> Cloud Security Settings -> GCP.
    • Write project id, paste the JSON key and hit save.
    • Credentials
  3. Start a Scan
    • Go to Cloud Security -> Start a New Scan and pick your GCP connection.
    • Within 15-20 minutes, the scan will be completed, and you will see the results.
