In simple English

This tool checks the security settings of your cloud accounts and software services. It runs tests across hundreds of services to find misconfigurations and exposed data. It maps these findings to compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, SOC 2, and NIST. You run it from your command line or inside a Docker container. It is free to use under an open-source licence.

What it is

ElectricEye is a Python command-line utility for multi-cloud asset management, security posture management, and attack surface monitoring. It executes over a thousand individual checks across cloud providers and software-as-a-service platforms.

What it is good for

Security engineers and system administrators who need an automated way to audit cloud configurations and verify compliance across multiple platforms without paying for commercial cloud security tools.
